Within the range of small amplitudes, the ‘soft’ characteristics improve riding comfort, while within the resonance ranges, the increased damping force provides a higher level of ride safety. A nonlinear model of the system is introduced, taking into account various strategies of oil-flow control. Utilising numerical integration methods, the influence of excitation parameters and constructional parameters on the characteristics of the damper is investigated.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.18.013.7964}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/the-modelling-and-analysis-of-shock-absorbers-with-stroke-dependent-damping} }
