Abstract

Dampers are frequently used for vibration reduction and isolation. While passive dampers are still being used, semi-active dampers such as MR and ER dampers have found their ways to expensive commercial applications. They use magnetorheological (MR) or electrorheological (ER) fluids as the damper fluid, subjected to a controllable field to obtain variable damping. These dampers are more efficient; however, due to the high cost of MR and ER fluids, they are too expensive to be used in the suspension systems for passenger cars Nonlinear Displacement-Dependent (NDD) damper has been recently developed for vibration reduction and control in mechanical systems. The damping coefficient of the NDD damper increases as the velocity reduces which compensates for the reduced velocity. This low-cost damper results in a smoother and more consistent damping force and energy dissipation and resolves the major drawback of the linear dampers, which is their poor performance, and the semi-active ones, which is their high cost. It also causes smaller force transmission in vibration isolation applications. In this paper the performance of the NDD damper in suspension systems has been investigated. The suspension system equipped with the NDD damper is modeled and its performance is compared to that of the conventional models.
