Abstract
The vehicles problem happens while driving on bumping road condition. The objective of this project is to modify the design and analysis of Shock absorber by varying the wire diameter of the coil spring. The Shock absorber which is one of the Suspension systems is designed mechanically to handle shock impulse and dissipate kinetic energy. The spring will be compressed quickly when the wheel strikes the bump. The compressed spring rebound to its normal dimension or normal loaded length which causes the body to be lifted. The spring goes down below its normal height when the weight of the vehicle pushes the spring down. This, in turn, causes the spring to rebound again. The spring bouncing process occurs over and over every less each time, until the up and down movement finally to stops. The vehicle handle becomes very much difficult and leads to its uncomfortable for ride when bouncing is allowed uncontrolled. The designing of spring in a suspension system is a very crucial. The analysis can be done by considering bike loads, and no of persons seated on bike. Comparison is done by various spring materials of shock absorber. The Modeling and Analysis is done using CATIA and ANSYS respectively.
