Electromagnetic Damping in Shock Absorbers
Abstract: In the shock absorber, springs are used as dampers which hold the weight of vehicle, rider(s), and cargo. After certain interval of time, the stiffness of the spring gets reduced due to some parameters e.g. load, oscillation, etc.; because of that, there will be imbalance in the vehicle, which would lead to loss of control and hence major accident. In order to prevent such untorn events, I will present some …
