TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - A comparison between two pneumatic suspension architectures JO - Vehicle system dynamics A1 - Quaglia, G. A1 - Scopesi, M. A1 - Franco, W. SP - 509 EP - 526 VL - 50 IS - 4 N2 - The aim of this work is to assess and compare the mathematical models of two pneumatic suspension architectures and show how they can converge, after appropriate simplifications, to a general linear form. After making this model dimensionless, it will be used to study, with a transmissibility analysis, the behaviour of a mono-suspension (quarter-car model). Finally, an example of a design process will be shown to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of both architectures and to provide the reader with a practical design tool.
