Research of the influence of dissipative heating on the performance characteristics of electrorheological shock absorbers

The results of measurements (the dependences of temperature of the central part of the external surface on time; the dependences of the resistance force on the amplitude and frequency of motion of the rod of a electrorheological shock absorber) have shown that pressure drop in the annular channel and damper force of electrorheological shock absorbers are reduced on dissipative heating of an electrorheological fluid. A comparison of the performance characteristics of the developed shock absorber and a hydraulic passive shock absorber, and also with controlled shock absorbers of similar design but from two manufacturers of other countries, is carried out.
