Abstract

The suspension system is built to provide comfortable ride when travelling on the rough road while improve vehicle handling. It also allows the tires to remain in contact with road surface especially on rough road. Shock absorber is one of component install in suspension system to dissipate energy absorbed by suspension system. Suspension system are consisting of wheels or tires, coil spring, shock absorber or strut, linkages, bushing and several other components. This project title is to study the driving comfort between two different absorber content which are hydraulic oil and pressure gas. Two different type of shock absorbers that already available in the market were used in this project as a model to conduct this research. The steps of this project are to test and study the behavior of these two shock absorbers by conducted compression test and doing calculation. In order to get better data, a simulation test had been conducted to know the behavior of these two shock absorbers when travelling on two different road conditions by using MatLab software. Vibration test also has been done using two cars with different type of shock absorber. All data from all test has been collected and being compared. The outcome of this research shows that gas shock absorber gives more driving comfort compared to hydraulic shock absorber.
