Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Throttling involves reducing orifice size until all of the flow cannot pass through the orifice; bypassing involves routing part of the flow ...

While the engineering community continues to explore the benefits of electric and hybrid vehicles—i.e., the environmental and renewable energy factors—the automotive market is still dependent on ...

Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve (DSSV) is a chassis suspension technology that delivers high levels of suspension damping performance. It is used on various ultra high-performance GM vehicles, ...

Car-development engineers are invariably discontented with the status quo. That’s especially true in ride-and-handling development, where twin-tube shock absorbers—more accurately called suspension ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

First, they’re called dampers, not shocks. And dampers, as any suspension engineer will tell you, get no respect. In fact, considered against the noisier, flashier, and more easily seen components of ...
