ABSTRACT - A suspension system or shock absorber is a
mechanical device designed to duty is to absorb or dissipate
energy. In a vehicle, it reduces the effect of travelling over
rough ground, leading to improved ride quality, and
increase in comfort due to substantially reduced amplitude
of disturbances. The design of spring in suspension system is
very important.
In this project a shock absorber is designed a 3D model
software using solid works. The model is also changed by
changing the material and load of the spring.
Structural analysis and is done on the shock absorber by
varying material for spring, magnesium, steel and titanium.
The analysis is done by considering loads, bike weight, single
person and 2 persons. Structural analysis is done to validate
the strength and static structural analysis is done to
determine the total displacements for different loads and
materials. Comparison is done for three materials to verify
best material for Shock absorber.
Key Words: ANSYS, Damp Stock, Kinetic Energy, Ride
Quality, SOLID WORKS.
1. INTRODUCTION TO SUSPENSION SYSTEM
Shock absorbers are important part of vehicle's
suspension- which is fabricated to reduce shock impulse.
Shock absorber minimizes the effect of travelling on a
rough ground. Modern vehicles are designed with strong
shock absorbers to tolerate any type of bouncy conditions.
If supposedly shock absorber is not used then to control
excessive suspension movement- stiffer springs will be
used. The shock absorbers duty is to absorb or dissipate
energy. One design consideration- when designing or
choosing a Shock absorber is where that energy will go. In
most dashpots- energy is converted to heat inside the
viscous fluid.
1.2 Literature Review
For providing the best design of spring coil to the
suspension system of two wheeler vehicles. A lot of
technical papers and reduction processes were studied
before deciding upon the most feasible process for project.
The following list presents a gist of the main papers
referred to, throughout the duration of the project.
1.3 Construction and Working
Construction

2. MODELING OF COMPONENT
Part 1: Lower Shaft
To create go to SOLIDWORKS software and click
on start –and select part design module. In part design
module then go to sketcher tool and select sketcher tool
and select required plane. Then we enter into sketcher
module and go to profile and create a profile structure as
shown in fig.
