Computer aided valve design of shock absorbers used in vehicles

The valve design of a rear twin tube shock absorber belongs to a light commercial vehicle whose damper characteristics have been realized by the help of a computer program called "Dr", and compared with the actual application results. The program gives user results about the valve parts to get the right target characteristics. After obtaining the necessary parts' results, the needed shock absorber's damping performance test has been performed, which has been designated according to the program. The actual results and target characteristics were compared. By comparing the overall effect of the parts selected, shock absorber valve system is arranged according to the valve components obtained from the computer program.
