MagneRide is an automotive adaptive suspension with magnetorheological damper system developed by the Delphi Automotive corporation, [ 1][ 2] that uses magnetically controlled dampers, or shock absorbers, for a highly adaptive ride. As opposed to traditional suspension systems, MagneRide has no mechanical valves or even small moving parts that ...
Damper (flow) Opposed blade dampers in a mixing duct. A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a duct, chimney, VAV box, air handler, or other air-handling equipment. A damper may be used to cut off central air conditioning (heating or cooling) to an unused room, or to regulate it for room-by-room temperature ...
Hydropneumatic suspension is a type of motor vehicle suspension system, designed by Paul Magès, invented by Citroën, and fitted to Citroën cars. The suspension was referred to as Suspension oléopneumatique [ fr] in early literature, pointing to oil and air as its main components. [ 1][ 2] The system was also used under licence by other car ...
Yaw damper. A yaw damper (sometimes referred to as a stability augmentation system[ 1]) is a system used to reduce (or damp) the undesirable tendencies of an aircraft to oscillate in a repetitive rolling and yawing motion, a phenomenon known as the Dutch roll. A large number of modern aircraft, both jet-powered and propeller -driven, have been ...
The CARS Program was implemented by the Department of Trade and Industry in order to attract and encourage new car companies to produce vehicles in the Philippines [16] and stimulate demand and impose industry regulations that will restore the country's automotive industry, and make the country a regional automotive manufacturing hub, [17] and ...
Magnetorheological damper. A magnetorheological damper or magnetorheological shock absorber is a damper filled with magnetorheological fluid, which is controlled by a magnetic field, usually using an electromagnet. [ 1][ 2][ 3] This allows the damping characteristics of the shock absorber to be continuously controlled by varying the power of ...
Inertia damper. An inertia damper is a device that counters vibration using the effects of inertia and other forces and motion. [ 1] The damper does not negate the forces but either absorbs or redirects them by other means. For example, a large and heavy suspended body may be used to absorb several short-duration large forces, and to reapply ...
Air suspension is used in place of conventional steel springs in heavy vehicle applications such as buses and trucks, and in some passenger cars. It is widely used on semi trailers and trains (primarily passenger trains ). The purpose of air suspension is to provide a smooth, constant ride quality, but in some cases is used for sports suspension.
