Abstract:
Suspension systems must tradeoff multiple purposes including contributing to the vehicle's road holding/handling and braking for good active safety and driving pleasure as well as keeping vehicle's user(s) comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road noise, bumps, and vibrations, etc. Over the past 100 years many suspension systems have evolved but have in common the disposition of the hock absorber between the wheel and the fulcrum point of the wheel mounting to the vehicle. It would be, however, be beneficial to provide a suspension exploiting a dual-shock system wherein the two shock absorbers are in opposite states so that even under absorption of the vertical shock from the road surface there was still applied additional force for road contact to be maintained. It can also be shown to be beneficial in single-shock systems to place the shock the opposite side of the fulcrum point of the suspension system, counter to previous prior art solutions.
