“…Analysis and performance evaluation of a damper with a high damping force using the contact force of permanent magnets was performed [24][25][26][27][28]. In recent years, computational methods such as the finite element approach have been used to improve the damper structure [27][28][29][30][31]. However, permanent deformation occurs when the general damper device reaches the permitted capacity of the seismic force, leading to inter-floor displacement and long-term displacement Sathish Kumar, S. et al…”

This article presents a novel magnetic pole repulsive damper (MPRD) incorporating neodymium magnetic repulsive blocks and springs. The study explores the mechanical properties of the springs and magnetic blocks through numerical simulations using ANSYS and experimental evaluation. To gain deeper insights into the behaviour of the MPRD, an accurate and high-fidelity finite element model was developed. The evaluation process involved a comprehensive comparison between the numerical simulations and experimental tests, explicitly focusing on cyclic compression–tension forces. The study encompassed the functioning, design implications, fabrication technique, mechanical performance, and numerical simulation for the cyclic compression–tension forces of the MPRD. The cyclic compression–tension tests revealed a gradual increase in force, with the MPRD achieving an ultimate force of 2,877 kN. The MPRD exhibited robust hysteresis behaviour in cyclic loading, showing its capacity to undergo and uphold the stability of the combination of its materials. The cyclic compression–tension results indicated the maximum force carrying capability of the damper. This resilience implies its full reusability in such scenarios. The comparison between cyclic compression–tension tests confirmed the alignment between the numerical simulation and experimental investigation.

In this paper, we present the 3D modelling and structural analysis of a telescopic shock absorber unit that have been considered. A telescopic shock absorber unit from railway wheels was used in this study. The 3D model of a telescopic shock absorber unit consists of a cylinder, Belleville disc, eye ball, flange models that were created with the help of CATIA V5 software, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is also carried out to find the Equivalent Von-Misses stresses and deformations to reduce the bouncing, stability, and improve the performance of a shock absorber unit.

In general, the suspension systems are used to absorb vibrations, bump, rolls, dip from shock loads due to road surface irregularities. It performs its major role without affecting the vehicles’ stability and overall handling during operation. Coil springs are used as suspension element in light vehicles to attenuate unwanted vibrations. A spring is an elastic object used to store mechanical energy and it can be twisted, pulled or extended by some force and can return to its initial position when the force is released. In this study, mild steel material was taken into consideration in designing and fabricating coil springs. Theoretical and experimental investigations were conducted to calculate springs’ stiffness and to make validation between them. Three model of springs having coils 10, 11, 14 respectively are designed which have slight stiffness difference both theoretically and experimentally. The models were analyzed to determine mechanical behaviors for randomly chosen loading conditions ranging from 29.4 N to 176.4 N which are better suited with spring size. It is noted from both numerical and experimental investigations that deflection is high when the stiffness is less and vice-versa. In addition, shear stress formation increases with the increment of stiffness and applied load. Hence, springs having high stiffness are used in suspension system to reduce vibration and other disturbances. This study shows springs of having high stiffness are comparatively compact in size and cost economic as well.
