Abstract

This paper deals with analysis on the influence of hydarulic cylinder diameter and oil viscousity to the total damping force and the regenerated electric power of hydro-magneto-electric-regenerative shock absorber (HMERSA). HMERSA is aimed to convert the vibration energy losses from the vehicle suspension into electricity. As HMERSA consists of mechanical and electrical system, the total damping force characteristics and the regenerated electric power will be influenced by its mechanical and electrical damper characteristics. In HMERSA, the mechanical damper depends on the design of the hydraulic cylinder diameter, oil viscousity and the existing head loss, while the electrical damper is affected by the electric generator characteristics and battery state of charge. In this study, a previously developed prototype of HMERSA was mathematically modelled, simulated and analyzed. The influence of hydraulic cylinder-tube diameter ratio (3.2, 4, 5) to the total damping force and the regenerated electric power of HMERSA were simulated. The results are presented, analyzed and discussed in this paper.
