Fluidic Technology Investigation - Suspension Damping Simulations

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate adaptive suspension damping devices, specifically those which employ fluidic controls, by means of hybrid computer simulations. The M151A2, 1/2 ton, 4 X 4, utility vehicle was first simulated to provide baseline data with which to compare the adaptive dampers. This investigation resulted in the definition of parameters which were given to the contractor who is building a breadboard of the Adaptive Fluidic Vibration Damper MOD IIB.
