Dynamic Vibration and Damping Analysis of Sustainable Nano-Reinforced Polymer Composite Elements for Vehicle Suspension Applications
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical investigation into the dynamic vibration characteristics of nano-reinforced polymer composite elements intended for vehicle suspension applications. A single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) quarter-car model is employed to derive fundamental expressions for natural frequency, damping ratio, logarithmic decrement, and displacement transmissibility. The primary contribution lies in establishing explicit analytical linkages between material-level viscoelastic properties specifically storage modulus and loss modulus and system-level suspension parameters including stiffness and damping coefficients. …
