Effect of Deflected Discs Thickness to the Damping Characteristic of Tube Shock Absorbers

Research is conducted on the relationship between thickness of deflected disc and damping force of tube shock absorbers. By analyzing performing characteristics of the throttling valve using throttling theory of small clearance space and thin place deformation theories, mathematical correlation between disc thickness and magnitude of damping force is formulated. Moreover, a rule concerning change of damping force in terms of disc thickness is concluded.
