【 摘 要 】

Suspension system of an automobile not only supports the body of the vehicle, engine and passengers but also absorbs shocks arising from the roughness of the road. It has been a practice from the beginning to use conventional suspension system in the automobiles, which involves a chassis supported by the axles through springs and dampers. When the automobile is moving, the roughness of the road keeps giving excitations to the suspension system through tyres. The stiffness and damping of the suspension system play an important role in absorbing the shocks and provide comfort to the passengers. In this paper, an attempt is made to study the effect of damping on the comfort level.
