BAB I RINGKASAN Meningkatnya jumlah kendaraan roda dua seiring dengan meningkatnya mobilitas
penduduk di Indonesia menyebab banyak populasi dan keborosan pemakaian bahan bakar.
Oleh karenanya, kendaraan roda dua listrik menjadi suatu alternative untuk menjawab
permasalahan tersebut. Indonesia juga berusaha menghadirkan kendaraan roda listrik buatan
local yaitu GESITS. Kemandirian dalam produksi komponen kendaraan juga menjadi
perhatian, terutama dalam meningkatkan TKDN. Salah satu tantangan adalah bagaimana
mampu membuat komponen suspense untuk kendaraan roda dua listrik [1][2].
Dalam penelitian ini kami akan melakukan design dan pemilihan material dalam rangka
membuat prototype shock absorber GESITS, yang nantinya akan digunakan. Hal ini untuk
melanjutkan diskusi dengan PT. WIKA yang akan melakukan kerjasama dengan kami dalam
rangka pemenuhan komponen kendaraan listrik roda dua.

BAB II HASIL PENELITIAN Bentuk dan ukuran komponen shock absorber sangat berpengaruh terhadap performa
shock absorber selama berkendara. Desain shock absorber harus sesuai dengan kendaraan.
Pada penelitian ini rangkaian desain shock absorber dengan model dan diameter pegas yang
berbeda ditunjukkan pada Gambar 3.1-3.3 dan Tabel 3.1. Pegas dengan model dan diameter
yang berbeda pada umumnya memiliki konsentrasi tegangan dan distribusi tegangan yang
berbeda dan mungkin dapat meningkatkan umur dan faktor keamanan komponen. Pegas
dengan diameter besar memberikan distribusi tegangan yang maksimal. Namun, hal itu akan
meningkatkan bobot dari shock absorber dan meningkatkan konsumsi energi kendaraan.
Sedangkan pegas dengan diameter minimum akan menurunkan berat shock absorber dan
meningkatkan kemungkinan terjadinya kegagalan akibat konsentrasi tegangan dan distribusi
tegangan yang buruk. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini perlu dilakukan untuk mendapatkan desain
shock absorber yang optimal baik dari segi bobot, sifat mekanik yang baik dan kenyamanan
saat berkendara. Pada penelitian ini dihasilkan 6 desain shock absorber yang berbeda dengan
model dan diameter pegas yang bervariasi untuk mendapatkan desain shock absorber terbaik
[3][4][5][6].
Komponen terpenting dari shock absorber adalah upper mount, piston rod, cylinder dan
lower mount. Semua komponen shock absorber yang berbeda dibuat terpisah dalam perangkat
lunak SolidWorks 2014 dan semua bagian shock absorber dirakit di SolidWorks 2014. Di
bagian bawah shock absorber, sebagai fix support untuk menahan gaya yang bekerja pada
shock absorber seperti yang ditunjukkan pada Gambar 3.3. Setiap kali beban eksternal tertentu
diterapkan pada bagian atas shock absorber, silinder shock absorber bergerak ke bawah dan
menekan pegas. Pembebanan ini mempresentasikan sebagai pembebanan akibat berat
kendaraan dengan dua penumpang [1][7][8]

Gambar 2.2 Pegas (Spring)
Gambar 2.3 Desain Shock Abosrber setelah assembly
Model shock absorber untuk FEA dibuat di SolidWorks 2014. Model yang dibuat
kemudian diimpor di ANYS 19.1 menggunakan ekstensi parasolid. Analisa struktural static
dan modal analysis pada shock absorber dilakukan untuk menghitung safety factor. Analisis
statik dilakukan dengan menggunakan bobot rata-rata kendaraan dan dua penumpang (7500
N). Material Peredam kejut dianggap sebagai material yang memiliki isotropik elastis linier.
Tabel 3.2 menunjukkan properti ASTM A231 dan AISI 9255 untuk pegas peredam kejut dan
ASTM 40 untuk komponen atas dan bawah. Kontak permukaan standar ditentukan antara
komponen bawah dan atas. Koefisien gesekan sebesar 0,1 diasumsikan karena komponen
umumnya terlumasi dengan baik oleh fluida [9]. Untuk mengevaluasi perbedaan hasil analisis
struktur dan modal statik satu sama lain desain shock absorber, dengan variasi material, model
4
dan diameter pegas. . Analisis elemen hingga shock absorber dilakukan dengan menggunakan
ANSYS 19.1 pada PC prosesor Intel P4 2.0 GHz [10].

FEA dari peredam kejut dilakukan dengan menggunakan ANSYS 19.1.Optimasi dalam
penelitian ini adalah memastikan bahwa desain shock absorber memiliki nilai safety factor
yang besar. Tegangan ekivalen maksimum pada peredam kejut harus lebih rendah dari batas
daya tahan luluh material. Selain itu, tekanan pada desain shock absorber harus didistribusikan
secara merata. Stres von Mises diadopsi sebagai kriteria dalam penelitian ini. Kriteria hasil von
Mises adalah bagian dari teori plastisitas yang paling baik diterapkan pada bahan ulet, seperti
logam. Sebelum menghasilkan simulaso, respon material diasumsikan elastis. Dalam ilmu
material dan teknik, kriteria hasil von Mises dapat dirumuskan dalam istilah tegangan von
Mises. Tegangan von Mises digunakan untuk memprediksi hasil material dalam kondisi
pembebanan apapun dari hasil uji tarik uniaksial sederhana. Oleh karena itu, tegangan von
Mises juga telah banyak digunakan dalam analisis elemen hingga sambungan buatan. Gambar
3.5-3.6 menunjukkan tegangan von Mises pada desain shock absorber yang dibuat dari ASTM
A231 di bawah pembebanan statis. Gambar 3.6 -3.7 menunjukkan tegangan von Mises pada
desain peredam kejut yang terbuat dari AISI 9255 dengan beban statis. Hasil yang disajikan
dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa saat shock absorber dibebani. Dari hasil tersebut
dapat disimpulkan bahwa desain shock absorber berbahan ASTM A231 dan AISI 9255 aman
karena tegangan miss maksimum di bawah titik luluh material. Selain itu desain peredam kejut
yang terbuat dari bahan AISI 9255 dengan model revolusi dan pegas berdiameter 6 mm
merupakan desain terbaik untuk kondisi pembebanan statis.[5][11]

Teori Goodman, Soderberg dan Gerber digunakan untuk menentukan faktor keamanan
(safety factor) desain shock absorber. Pada penelitian ini faktor keamanan shock absorber
dievaluasi menggunakan ANSYS Workbench. Perhitungan faktor keamanan shock absorber
dilakukan untuk bahan ASTM A231 dan AISI 9255. Dalam FEA, bahan dianggap elastisitas
isotropik. Oleh karena itu, faktor keamanan dipastikan lebih dari 1 yang menyimpulkan desain
shock absorber aman. Rumusan teori goodman, soderberg dan gerber dapat dilihat pada Tabel
3.5 [2] [8].

Tabel 2.7 Minimum Safety Factor of Shock Absorber for ASTM A228+ASTM 40
Dari Tabel 3.6-3.7, kita dapat melihat bahwa semua desain peredam kejut memiliki
nilai faktor keamanan yang berbeda, sesuai dengan semua teori kelelahan tetapi semua peredam
kejut memiliki faktor keamanan lebih dari 1. Ini berarti bahwa semua desain peredam kejut
adalah desain yang baik dan aman di bawah pembebanan statis. Di antara desain shock
absorber, desain model pitch dan pegas berdiameter 6 mm berbahan AISI 9255 lebih baik dari
yang lain. Karena desain ini memiliki nilai faktor keamanan yang lebih tinggi di semua teori
faigue. Nilai deformasi shock absorber disajikan pada Tabel 3.3-3.4.
MODAL ANALYSIS
Analisis modal membantu menentukan karakteristik getaran (frekuensi alami dan
bentuk mode) dari struktur atau komponen mekanis, yang menunjukkan pergerakan berbagai
bagian struktur dalam kondisi pembebanan dinamis, seperti yang disebabkan oleh gaya lateral
yang dihasilkan oleh aktuator elektrostatis. Frekuensi alami dan bentuk mode merupakan
parameter penting dalam desain struktur untuk kondisi pembebanan dinamis. Analisis modal

shock absorber dilakukan dengan menggunakan software ANSYS. Gambar 3.8 menunjukkan
bentuk mode peredam kejut pada frekuensi dasarnya dan Tabel 3.8-3.9 menunjukkan frekuensi
alami desain peredam kejut untuk berbagai mode getarannya.
Analisis modal biasanya digunakan untuk menentukan karakteristik getaran (frekuensi
alami dan bentuk mode) dari suatu struktur atau komponen mesin saat sedang dirancang. Ini
juga dapat berfungsi sebagai titik awal untuk analisis dinamis lain yang lebih rinci, seperti
respons harmonik atau analisis dinamis transien penuh. Analisis modal, sementara menjadi
salah satu jenis analisis dinamis paling dasar yang tersedia di ANSYS, juga dapat lebih
memakan waktu komputasi daripada analisis statis biasa. Pada penelitian ini massa titik sekitar
250 kg dilakukan dengan menggunakan Analisis Modal ANSYS 19.1 Workench [3][10].

Dari hasil Analisis Modal yang ditunjukkan pada Tabel 3.8-3.9 dan Gambar 3.9-3.10,
dapat dilihat bahwa desain shock absorber yang terbuat dari ASTM A228 dan AISI 9255 aman
untuk mode 1 dan mode 2. Berbeda dengan kasus analisis modal, Shock absorber yang terbuat
dari kedua material tersebut memiliki hasil yang berbeda. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa peredam
kejut diperkirakan aman terhadap analisis modal mode 1-2 tetapi mungkin gagal dalam analisis
modal untuk mode 3-6.
Berdasarkan hasil analisis struktural, faktor keamanan untuk umur kelelahan telah
dihitung. Perhitungan fatigue telah dilakukan untuk material ASTM A231 dan AISI 9255
berdasarkan teori fatigue Goodman, Soderberg, dan Gerber. FEA dalam studi ini menunjukkan
bahwa semua desain shock absorber baru aman terhadap pembebanan statis. Berdasarkan
analisis modal, desain peredam kejut diperkirakan aman dalam mode analisis modal 1-2 tetapi
mungkin gagal dalam mode analisis modal 3-6. Desain shock absorber terbaik untuk under
static loading adalah desain shock absorber baru berdiameter 6 mm dan model revolution pegas
berbahan AISI 9255 karena desain ini lebih ringan dari model pitch [11]
PROSES PEMBUATAN PRODUK DENGAN METODE INVESMENT CASTING
Pembutan produk shock absorber menggunakan proses pengecoran logam metode
Invesment Casting dan metode rolling. Shock absorber ini memiliki 3 komponen utama yaitu
komponen atas, komponen bawah dan komponen spring. Semua komponen diproduksi
menggunakan metode investment casting kecuali komponen spring dibuat dengan
menggunkan metode rolling. Pembuatan prototipe Shock Absorber dilakukan di PT. Pelopor
Teknologi Implantindo, Mojokerto, Jawa Timur.
Tahapan awal penelitian adalah karakterisasi material dan pembuatan desain yang
digunakan untuk proses simulasi. Karakterisasi material yang pertama yang dilakukan adalah
uji komposisi dan thermal analysis berupa pengujian Spektro, DSC dan TGA. Pengujian ini
dilakukan untuk mengetahui komposisi kimia, specific heat capacity dan melting point dari
material tersebut. Proses selanjutnya yaitu pembuatan desain Shock Breaker menggunakan
Gambar 2.10 Total Deformation ASTM A228 (Revolution, 5 mm)
11
bantuan software CAD berupa Solidwork 2014. Kemudian file disimpan dalam bentuk ekstensi
Parasolid yang nantinya akan diimport di FEA software.
Gambar 2.11 Geometri dan desain Shock Absorber
Setelah pembuatan desain Shock Breaker selesai maka sebelum proses manufacturing
terlebih dahulu dilakukan proses simulasi menggunakan software ANSYS 2019. Analisis ini
digunakan untuk mensimulasikan fenomena apa saja yang akan terjadi pada saat pembuatan .
Sehingga dengan analisis ini akan menekan terjadinya kecacatan produk. Shock Breaker
dimodelkan menggunakan modul analisis thermal transient untuk mengetahui distribusi
temperature. Kemudian dilanjutkan menggunakan modul transient static tructural untuk
mengetahui deformasinya [10].
Permodelan pertama dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisa transient thermal untuk
mengetahui distribusi temperatur. Selanjutnya, dilakukan analisa couple-field dengan transient
structural. Analisa coupled-field dapat merepresentasikan efek termal untuk dikaitkan pada
fenomena lain. Analisa transient structural kemudian dilakukan untuk mengetahui tegangan
termal dan shrinkage yang terjadi pada produk hasil pengecoran. Analisa termal pada
permodelan ini menggunakan program Ansys Workbench 19.1 dengan modul transient
thermal. Analisa transient thermal menentukan temperatur dan besaran termal lain yang
berubah terhadap waktu. Sebuah analisa transient thermal pada dasarnya memiliki prosedur
yang sama dengan analisa steady-state thermal, perbedaan utama diantara keduanya adalah
sebagian besar pembebanan pada analisa transient adalah fungsi terhadap waktu. Tabel
dibawah ini menunjukkan beberapa sifat dari material yang harus dimasukkan ke dalam
permodelan untuk mendapatkan output yang diinginkan [12][13][14]

Analisa termal yang pertama adalah analisa mengenai distribusi temperatur pada
material pengecoran. Shrinkage merupakan peristiwa menyusutnya volume selama proses
pengecoran setelah dilakukan pendinginan. Untuk menghitung shrinkage yang terjadi selama
simulasi, diperlukan nilai deformasi pada hasil pengecoran di setiap sumbu. Selanjutnya,
geometri awal produk dikurangi dengan deformasi tersebut sehingga didapatkan volume akhir
produk. Dengan mengurangkan volume awal dengan volume akhir, maka didapatkan besarnya
shrinkage pada produk pengecoran. Apabila hasil analisa ANSYS sudah menunjukkan hasil
yang seperti apa yang dinginkan maka proses selanjutnya berupa Investment Casting dan Hot
Working. Apabil hasil dari simulasi ANSYS belum sesuai maka akan dilakukan desain model
ulang menggunakan Solidwork [10].
Apabila hasil analisa ANSYS sudah menunjukkan hasil yang seperti apa yang
dinginkan maka proses selanjutnya berupa pengecoran dengan metode investment casting
dengan bahan logam. Untuk pembuatan komponen Spring mengunakan metode Hot Working.
Untuk kegiatan pengecoran dengan metode investment casting dilakukan di PT. Pelopor
Teknologi Implantindo, Mojokerto, Jawa Timur.

DESAIN SHOCK ABSORBER UNTUK MOTOR ELEKTRIK
Bidang Teknik Invensi
Invensi ini berkaitan dengan metode proses pembuatan shock
absorber cakupannya berupa penentuan desain komponen shock absorber
berbahan dasar ASTM A228, sebagai salah satu komponen dalam
kendaraan bermotor. Lebih khusus lagi, invensi ini berhubungan
dengan modifikasi pada model dan ukuran diameter spring dan
modifikasi bentuk dan ukuran pada komponen shock absorber.
Latar Belakang Invensi
Shock absorber adalah komponen penting dalam sistem suspensi
suatu kendaraan, yang berguna untuk meredam gaya osilasi dari pegas.
Shock absorber berfungsi untuk memperlambat dan mengurangi besarnya
getaran gerakan dengan mengubah energi kinetik dari gerakan
suspensi menjadi energi panas yang dapat dihamburkan melalui cairan
hidrolik. Peredam kejut (shock absorber) pada motor memiliki
komponen pada bagian atasnya terhubung dengan piston dan
dipasangkan dengan rangka kendaraan. Bagian bawahnya, terpasang
dengan silinder bagian bawah yang dipasangkan dengan as roda. Fluida
kental menyebabkan gaya redaman yang bergantung pada kecepatan
relatif dari kedua ujung unit tersebut. Hal ini membantu untuk
mengendalikan guncangan pada roda. Shock absorber bekerja dalam dua
siklus yakni siklus kompresi dan siklus ekstensi.
Struktur atau komponen pembentuk shock absorber bermacam-macam
berdasarkan sistem kerja dan jenisnya. Konstruksi shock absorber
itu terdiri atas piston, piston rod dan tabung. Piston adalah
komponen dalam tabung shock absorber yang bergerak naik turun di
saat shock absorber bekerja. Sedangkan tabung adalah tempat dari
minyak shock absorber dan sekaligus ruang untuk piston bergerak
naik turun. Piston rod adalah batang yang menghubungkan piston
xi
dengan tabung bagian atas (tabung luar) dari shock absorber. Ada
komponen yang terbuat dari logam namun ada juga komponen yang
terbuat dari polimer maupun komposit.
Invensi teknologi yang berkaitan dengan proses pembuatan shock
absorber sebelumnya dikemukakan John T. Thompson pada Paten United
States No CN 4036335 pada 19 Juli 1977 berjudul: Adjustable Shock
Absorber. Paten tersebut mengklaim desain shock absorber dengan
penambahan komponen pada bagian luar akan mampu menigkatkan
kualitas berkendara karena dengan penambahan alat ini dapat
mengontrol tingkat kekerasan dari spring pada shock absorber.
Invensi teknologi yang berkaitan dengan metode pembuatan shock
absorber juga telah diungkapkan oleh Nishikawa et al. sebagaimana
terdapat pada paten United States Nomor 4183509 tanggal 15 Januari
1980 dengan judul: Shock Absorber for Vehicle Use. dimana
diungkapkan bahwa penambahan komponen piringan orifice dengan
berbagai ukuran pada sistem suspensi akan dapat mengontrol
mekanisme spring, sehingga tingkat kenyamanan spring dan shock
absorber dapat diatur sesuai keinginan pengendara. Namun kedua
invensi tersebut masih terdapat kekurangan yaitu komponen shock
absorber yang digunakan kompleks dan banyak sehingga akan
meningkatkan kemungkinan kerusakan pada saat pemakaian. Selain itu
dengan banyaknya komponen penyususn shock absorber akan
meningkatkan massa total dari shock absorber tersebut.
Selanjutnya Invensi yang diajukan ini dimaksudkan untuk
mengatasi permasalahan yang dikemukakan diatas dengan cara
melakukan desain ulang pada komponen shock absorber. Invensi yang
diajukan ini menghasilkan suatu produk shock absorber dengan massa
yang lebih ringan dan kemampuan mekanik yang baik.
Uraian Singkat Invensi

Abstract. The shock absorber is a part designed to smooth out the shock impulse and dissipate kinetic energy. The engine
is the main power of the vehicle and the most direct reason that cause the vibration of the vehicle. If the shock absorber
cannot control the vibration will make other parts of the body has seriously affect like vehicle handling stability and shorten
the vehicle's component life. The shock absorber system connects a vehicle to its wheels and contributes to the vehicle’s
road handling and braking for better safety and driving pleasure and offering a comfortable ride well isolated from road
noise, bumps, vibrations. In this paper, the authors propose a new shock absorber design that it can smooth out or damp
shock impulse, dissipate kinetic energy, and reduced amplitude of disturbances. When a vehicle is through on a level road
and the wheels strike a bump, the spring is compressed. The compressed spring will attempt to return to its normal loaded
length and will rebound past its normal height, causing the passenger and body vehicle to be lifted. The rebound process is
repeated over and over, a little less each time, until the up-and-down movement finally stops. The design of spring in the
shock absorber system is very urgent. In this project, a shock absorber is created using SolidWorks 2014. The model is also
varying diameter and design of the spring. Structural analysis and modal analysis are done on the shock absorber by varying
material for AISI 347 and ASTM A228 using ANSYS 19.1. The analysis is done by considering loads, bike weight with 2
person passengers. Static structural analysis was done to validate the strength of the materials and design. Modal analysis
was done to know the displacements for different frequencies for the number of modes. Comparison is done for two materials
with a varying diameter of spring to verify the best materials and design for the shock absorber. Based on the static analysis
result, the safety factor for the fatigue life of the shock absorber design has been calculated based on Goodman, Soderberg,
and Gerber fatigue theories. The stresses and strains were also found to be optimum which leads to increase of structural
strength of the shock absorber.

INTRODUCTION
The shock absorber system has used widely in different fields, such as civil, aerospace and automotive
engineering, for vibration absorption and system stability [1][2]. The shock absorber is a mechanical component of
vehicle that function to reduce the vibrations. The shock absorber includes spring, valves and orifices used to manage
the flow of oil and gasses through an internal piston. The shock absorbers minimize the effect of traveling over rough
ground, leading to improved ride quality and vehicle handling. The shock absorbers in motorcyle use valving of oil or
gas to absorb excess energy from the springs cause by traveling. Spring was chosen by the factory based on the weight
of the vehicle (loaded and unloaded). During hysteresis in the tire, they damp the energy stored in the motion of the
unsprung weight up and down. Effective of wheel motorcycle bounce damping may require tuning shocks to an optimal
resistance [3][4][5][6]. Spring of the shock absorbers in motorcycle commonly use coil springs. Motorcycle usually
employ both hydraulic shock absorbers and springs. In this combination, shock absorber refers specifically to the
hydraulic piston that absorbs and dissipates vibration and energy [7].
Hydraulic and pneumatic shock absorbers usually take the form of a cylinder with a sliding piston inside. The
cylinder is filled with a fluid or gas. This fluid-filled piston/cylinder combination is a dashpot. One of design decision,
when designing or choosing the shock absorber, is where that energy will release [8]. In most shock absorber, the excess
energy is converted to heat inside the viscous fluid. In hydraulic cylinders, the hydraulic fluid will heat up, while in gas
xxi
cylinders, the hot gasses will exhaust to the atmosphere or environment. In general, the shock absorbers help cushion
vehicle on uneven tracks [9]
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computer-based numerical methode to calculate the phenomena and
behavior of engineering structures. It can be used to determine stress, strain, deformation, safety factor, vibration,
buckling behavior and other phenomena. It can be used to calculate either small or large-scale deformation under
loading or unloading. It can analyze elastic deformation or plastic deformation. This technique is also distinguished
from finite differential equations, for which although the steps into which space is divided are finite in size, there is
little freedom in the shapes that the discreet steps can take. FEA is a way to deal with structures that are more complex
than can be dealt with analytically using partial differential equations. FEA deals with complex boundaries better than
finite difference equations and gives answers to structural problems [1][10][11].
In FEA, the actual continuum or body of matter like solid, liquid or gas is represented as an assemblage of
subdivisions called finite elements. These elements are considered to be interconnected at specified joints called nodes
or Nodal points. The nodes usually lie on the element boundaries where adjacent elements are considered to be
connected since actual variation of the field variable inside a finite variable inside a finite element can be approximated
by a function. These approximate functions are defined in terms of the value of the field’s variables at the nodes. A
static structural analysis determines the stresses, strains, and deformation in structures or components caused by loads
that do not induce significant inertia and damping effects. Steady loading and transient loading response conditions are
assumed; that is, the loads and the structure's response and phenomena are assumed to vary slowly with respect to time
[2][11].
The research about shock absorber simulation has been done, A. Chinnamahammad bhasha, N. Vijay rami
reddy, B. Rajnaveen, worked on suspension system also created and a 3D model is generat using CATIA V5 R21. The
project used spring steel, phosphor bronze, berilium copper and titanium alloy as spring material. They considered
weight of bike with double riding. Final comparison is done for different materials to calculated best material for spring
in the shock absorber. Modeling is done in CATIA and analysis is done in ANSYS [12]. Syambabu Nutalapati, in the
research a shock absorber designed and a 3D model is created using CATIA. Static structural and modal analysis are
done on the shock absorber by varying material for Spring Steel and Molybdenum [1]. Pinjarla Poornamohan,
Lakshmana Kishore, In their project a shock absorber is designed and a 3D model is created using Pro/Engineer. The
size of spring is varied and the material is spring steel and beryllium copper. Structural analysis is done to verify the
displacement at number of nodes at different frequencies using Ansys [13]. Rahul Tekade, Chinmay Patil, has carried
Structural and Modal Analysis of Shock Absorber of Vehicle to sustain more vibrations at all conditions [14].
METHODOLOGY
In this project a new design of shock absorber has been simulated to consider safety factor to estimate the
properness of the shock absorber. Finite element model of the shock absorber was generated in SolidWorks 2014. The
model of shock absorber was imported in ANSYS 19.1 for analysis. Static structural analysis and modal analysis was
performed applying average two passangers and stress distribution, total deformation and safety factor was calculated.
Maximal and minimal stress (von misses) variation with respect to time was recorded. Maximal and minimal stress
variation were used to determine safety factor and properness of the shock absorber. The purpose of a novel design for
a shock absorber was obtained light, reliable, good and durable design [15]. The purpose of making this new design is
to produce a shock absorber design with the ability to have the maximum capability with the lightest weight. The model
spring influenced the ability of shock absorber. The shock absorber design has to reduce the stress distribution during
loading and unloading, perhaps will increase the lifetime and properness of the shock absorber [16]. With the variety
of spring model and diameter in the shock absorber is expected to reduce the weight and distribute the stress of the
shock absorber shown in Figure 1-3 and Table 1.

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Static structural and modal analysis of shock absorber have to conducted to ensure about the safety factor and
properness of the shock absorber design [11]. In the literature, shock absorber is often designed according to the result
of static structural and modal analysis. Static structural and modal analysis is mostly conducted under weight of vehicle
and two passangers [1]. The simulation of the shock absorber which must be taken into account not to cause fracture of
fatigue failure of the shock absorber .To calculate how static structural and modal analysis result differ from each other
design of shock absorber, with varying the materials, model and diameter of the spring. Material properties of the shock
absorber could be seen in Table 2.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION
FEA of shock absorber are carried out using ANSYS 19.1. It is important that the maximum equivalent stress
on the shock absorber have to lower than the yield strength of the materials. In the static structural analysis, stresses
were always lower than the respective material strengths. Maximum Von Misses stresses in the shock absorber designs
resulted from static structural analyses are shown in Figure 4-7. It is important that the maximum equivalent stress on
the shock absorber should be lower than the endurance limit of the materials for safety. The calculated Von Misses
stress as shown in table are much lower than yield stress of AISI 347 and ASTM 228 given in Table 3-4. This mean all
shock absorber design made of AISI 347 and ASTM A228 is safe because the maximum von misses stress in lower
than the yield point of materials. Design with 5 mm diameter and revolution model made of ASTM 228 is the best
design for under static structural analysis.

A proper shock absorber design have to satisfy maximum or an infinite fatigue life. It can be ensured by
physical testing or a fatigue analysis. In this study, fatigue life of the shock absorber upon finite element stress analysis
is predicted using the computer code of ANSYS Workbench. Fatigue calculations of the shock absorber are conducted
for AISI 347 and ASTM A228 materials. Fatigue life of shock absorber is calculated based on Goodman, Soderberg,
Gerber and mean stress fatigue theories. This approach is useful for the initial process of materials selection of shock
absorber materials that will be subjected to high cyclic loading conditions. The advantage of this approach is that it
represents both initiation and propagation of cracks in the aggressive environment. In Table 5, N indicates safety factor
for fatigue life in loading cycle, Se for endurance limit and Su for ultimate tensile strength of the material. Mean stress
𝜎𝑚 and alternating stress 𝜎𝑎 are defined, respectively, as
𝜎𝑚 =(𝜎𝑚𝑎𝑥+𝜎𝑚𝑖𝑛)

𝜎𝑎 =(𝜎𝑚𝑎𝑥− 𝜎𝑚𝑖𝑛)

From Table 6-7, can concluded that all new shock absorber design has different safety factor values according
to all fatigue criteria methods. This means that alll shock absorber designs are safe under static loading is considered.
Among new shock absorber design, shock absorber design with 5 mm dimeter of spring and revolution model made
from ASTM 228 better than the others in fatigue life. Because this design has higher safety factor value in all faigue
theories. The total deformation value of shock absorber was given in Table 3-4.
MODAL ANALYSIS
Modal analysis is the process of determining the inherent dynamic characteristics of a system in forms of
natural frequencies, damping factors and mode shapes, and using them to formulate a mathematical model for its
dynamic behaviour. The formulated mathematical model is referred to as the modal model of the system and the
information for the characteristics are known as its modal data. In this research, point mass about 250 kg carried out
using Modal Analysis ANSYS 19.1 Workench. The model of shock aboseber that used in Modal Analysis show in
Figure 8. The result of modal analysis was given in Figure 9-10 and Table 8-9.

From the result of Modal Analysis shown in Table 8-9 and Figure 9-10 can conclude that the design of shock
absorber made of AISI 347 and ASTM A228 were safe for mode 1 and mode 2. Against as in modal analysis case mode
3-6, the shock absorber made of both material has different result. This indicates that the shock absorber predicted to
be safe against mode 1-2 modal analysis but may fail under modal analysis for mode 3-6.
CONCLUSION
The purpose of this research was to determine the properness of shock absorber design based on finite element
analysis. In this research, six different new shock absorber design are created. Shock absorber design have varying
model of spring and varying diameter of spring. The varying model and diameter of spring are designed to reduce
weight of the shock absorber and to know the maximal and minimal distributing stress in the shock abosrber. Static
structural and modal analysis of the shock absorber have been done using ANSYS 19.1. Based on static structural
analysis results, safety factors for fatigue life have been calculated. Fatigue calculations have been carried out for AISI
347 and ASTM A228 materials based on Goodman, Soderberg, and Gerber fatigue theories. Finite element analyses in
this study show that all new shock absorber designs are safe against static loading. Based on modal analysis the shock
absorber design predicted to be safe under modal analysis mode 1-2 but may fail under modal analysis mode 3-6. The
best shock absorber design for under static loading is new shock absorber design with 5 mm diameter and revolution
model of spring made of ASTM A228 material because this design is lighter than pitch model.

Abstract. The shock absorber is a component that connects a vehicle to its wheels and affected to the
vehicle’s road handling and braking. The shock absorber has to smooth shock impulse and dissipate
kinetic energy. If the shock absorber cannot smooth the disturbance, will shorten the vehicle's
component life. The design of spring and materials selection in the shock absorber are very essentials.
In this paper, a shock absorber was modelled using SolidWorks 2014. The model is also varying
diameter and type of the spring. Structural analysis and modal analysis are done on the shock absorber
using ANSYS 19.1. Structural analysis is done to calculate the mechanical strength and lifetime of
the design and modal analysis is done to determine the deformation for different natural frequencies
for the number of modes. The performance of the new shock absorber designs was investigated for
ASTM A231 and AISI 9255 materials and compared to each other. Based on the static structural
analysis result, the safety factor for the fatigue life of the shock absorber design has been calculated
based on Goodman, Soderberg, and Gerber fatigue theories.

INTRODUCTION
The shock absorber is a main component of vehicle, aircraft, trains and the supports for many industrial
machines [1]. Shock absorbers have been used in buildings to reduce the probability of structures to earthquake damage.
Shock absorb is a mechanical part designed to smooth out or damp shock impulse and dissipate kinetic energy.
Pneumatic and hydraulic shock absorber generally have form a cylinder with a sliding piston inside. This cylinder
commonly filled with a fluid or air. This fluid-filled piston/cylinder combination is a dashpot [2]. One design
consideration, when designing or choosing a shock absorber, is where that energy will be release. In general dashpots,
energy is converted to heat inside the viscous fluid. In hydraulic cylinders, the hydraulic fluid will heat up, while in air
cylinders, the hot air is usually exhausted to the e. In general terms, shock absorbers help cushion cars on uneven tracks.
The vehicle without shock absorber probability have problems in handling, as energy which stored in the spring and
then released to the vehicle [3][4].
The spring of shock absorber able to operate in any conditions under a wide range of temperatures. The spring
store energy rather than dissipating it [5]. Metal spring type shock absorbers are used then measures should be provided
to limit oscillations. Metal springs are often used with viscous dampers. There are a number of different types of metal
springs including helical springs, bevel washers(cone-springs), leaf springs, ring springs and etc. Each spring type has
its own operating characteristics [6]. In other hand, the function of shock absorbers is to connect vehicles to its wheels. A shock absorber is coupled
with a spring to convert shock waves into oscillatory motion. The shock absorbers provide a comfortable ride and
stability handling to the vehicle on the uneven track. While a vehicle hits a bump on the track, the spring of the shock
absorber to coil and uncoil. The energy of the spring is moved to the shock absorber through the upper mount, down
through the piston rod and into the piston. The shock absorber works in extension cycle and the compression cycle. In
the extension cycle, the piston moves upwards. In the compression cycle, the piston moves down and compresses the
spring. The compression cycle controls the vehicle’s unsprung weight and extension cycle controls the sprung weight
of the vehicle [7][8][9].

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computer-based numerical technique for evaluating the phenomena and
behavior of engineering structures. It can be used to determine deformation, stress, strain, contact pressure, thermal
distribution of engineering design. It can be used to evaluated small or large-scale deflection under loading or applied
forces. The method is also distinguished from finite differential equations, for which although the steps into which space
is divided are finite in size, there is little freedom in the shapes that the discreet steps can take. Finite element analysis
is a way to deal with structures that are more complex than can be dealt with analytically using partial differential
equations. FEA deals with complex boundaries better than finite difference equations and gives answers to structural
problems [10][11].
Bhasha et al. has created a 3D model of shock absorber by using CATIA V5 R21 and changed the size of
spring. A shock absorber minimized the effect of shocks while travelling on uneven tracka and increases the ride comfort
and quality by minimizing the amplitude of shock. Static structural and modal analysis is performed on shock absorber
by considering different materials for spring by using ANSYS. Structural analysis was performed to validate the
strength of the shock absorber. To evaluate the displacements for different frequencies, modal analysis was performed
[12]
Sudarshan et al. has created a new methodology which allows designing the partr of a shock absorber by using
finite element analysis (FEA). In production of shock absorbers, it is difficult to know the accuracy and precision of
shock absorber which doesn’t fail. The shock absorber is generated by using CAD software and analysed in ANSYS
workbench by considering the weight of vehicle. In the results, deflection and stress induced in the shock absorber are
studied [13]
METHODOLOGY
Shape and size of the shock absorber’ component have significant influence on the performance of shock
absorber a during travelling period. The design of shcok absorber must appropriate to the vehicle. In this research a
series of shock absorber design with different model and diameter of spring shown in Figure 1-3 and Table 1. Spring
with different model and diameter generally have different stress concentration and stress distribution and perhaps to
increase lifetime and safety factor of the shock absorber. Spring with large diameter provide maximal stress distribution.
However, it increased the weight of shock abosrber and increase the energy consumption of vehicle. In other hand,
spring with minimum diameter will decrease the weight of shock absorber and increase the possibility of failure caused
by stress concentration and poor stress distribution. Therefore, this research needs to be done in order to obtain an
optimal shock absorber design in terms of weight, comfort during tarveling and good mechanical properties. In this
research, 6 different shock absorber design with varying model and diameter of spring are generated to achieve best
shock absorber design [13]
The important component of a shock absorber are upper mount, piston rod, cylinder and lower mount. All the
different compnent of the shock absorber are cretaed separately in SolidWorks 2014 software and all the individual
parts of the shock absorber are assembled in the SolidWorks 2014. On the lower mount of the shock absorber, a fixed
support is assigned to withstand the forces acting on the shock absorber as shown in Figure 4. Whenever a certain
external load is applied on the upper mount of a shock absorber, the shock absorber cylinder moves down and
compresses the spring. For applying the load on the shock absorber, the weight of the vehicle with two passengers is
calculated.[14][15]

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
In the present study an attempt has been made to consider safety factor and stress distribution to determine the
useful life of the shock absorber. First a finite element model of the shock absorber was created in SolidWorks 2014.
The developed model was imported in ANYS 19.1 using parasolid extension. Static structural and modal analysis of
shock absorber carried out to evaluated about the safety factor and appropriatennes of the shock absorber model. Static
analysis was performed applying average weight of vehicle and two passanger (7500 N). A CAD model of shock
absorber was created in SolidWorks 2014 as per dimension in Figure 1-3 and saved in Parasolid format, which was
then imprted in ANSYS 19.1 for further simulation [11][16]. The shock absorber were defined with linear elastic
isotropic material. Table 2 shown ASTM A231 and AISI 9255 properties were assigned to the spring of shock absorber
and ASTM 40 were given to the upper and bottom component. Standard surface contact was defined between bottom
and upper component. Coefficient of friction equal to 0.1 was assumed as the component is generally well lubricated
by fluid. The simulation of the shock absorber which must be taken into account not to cause failure of the shock
absorber .To evaluated how static structural and modal analysis result differ from each other design of shock absorber,
with varying the materials, model and diameter of the spring. Finite element analysis of the shock absorber were carried
out using ANSYS 19.1 on a P4 2.0 GHz Intel processor PC[17].

RESULT AND DISCUSSION
FEA of the shock absorber are carried out using ANSYS 19.1. The rules of optimization in this research are to
ensure that the shock absorber design is proper or not. The maximum equivalent stress on the shock absorber should be
lower than the endurance limit of the materials. In addition, the stress on the shock absorber design should be evenly
distributed. The von Mises stress was adopted as the criterion in this work. The von Mises yield criterion is part of a
plasticity theory that applies best to ductile materials, such as metals. Prior to yield, the material response is assumed
to be elastic. In materials science and engineering the von Mises yield criterion can be formulated in terms of the von
Mises stress. The von Mises stress is used to predict yielding of materials under any loading condition from results of
simple uniaxial tensile tests. The von Mises stress has therefore also been widely used in the finite element analysis of
artificial joints. Figure 5-6 shows the von Mises stress on the shock absorber design made of ASTM A231 under static
loading. Figures 6 -7 show the von Mises stress on the shock absorber design made of AISI 9255 under static loading.
The result presented in this study indicated that when a shock absorber is loaded. From the result can concluded that in
shock absorber designm made of ASTM A231 and AISI 9255 is safe because the maximum von misses stress in below
the yield point of materials. In other hand the shock absorber design made of AISI 9255 with revolution model and 6
mm diameter of spring is the best design for under static loading.

Goodman, Soderberg and Gerber theories was used for determining of safety factor of shock absorber designs.
In this research, safety factor of the shock absorber is evaluated using ANSYS Workbench. Safety factor calculations
of the shock absorber are conducted for ASTM A231 and AISI 9255 materials. In the FEA, the materials are considered
to be isotropic elasticity. Therefore, the safety factor was ensured to be more than 1 that conclude the shock absorber
design is safe. The formulation of goodman, soderberg and gerber theories can be seen in Table 5.

From Table. 6-7, we can see that all new shock absorber design has different safety factor values according to
all fatigue theories but all new shock absorber has safety factor more than 1. This means that all shock absorber designs
are good design safe under static loading is considered. Among new shock absorber design, the design with pitch model
and 6 mm diameter of spring made of AISI 9255 better than the others. Because this design has higher safety factor
value in all faigue theories. The displacement value of assembly AHP and femur bone are given in Table 3-4.
MODAL ANALYSIS
Modal analysis helps to determine the vibration characteristics (natural frequencies and mode shapes) of a
mechanical structure or component, showing the movement of different parts of the structure under dynamic loading
conditions, such as those due to the lateral force generated by the electrostatic actuators. The natural frequencies and
mode shapes are important parameters in the design of a structure for dynamic loading conditions. Modal analysis of
the shock absorber were performed using ANSYS software. Figure 9 shows the mode shape of the shock absorber at
its fundamental frequency and Table 8-9 shows the natural frequencies of the shock absorber design for its different
vibration modes.
A modal analysis is typically used to determine the vibration characteristics (natural frequencies and mode
shapes) of a structure or a machine component while it is being designed. It can also serve as a starting point for another,
more detailed, dynamic analysis, such as a harmonic response or full transient dynamic analysis. Modal analyses, while
being one of the most basic dynamic analysis types available in ANSYS, can also be more computationally time
consuming than a typical static analysis. In this research, point mass about 250 kg carried out using Modal Analysis
ANSYS 19.1 Workench. [12][13]

From the result of Modal Analysis shown in Table 8-9 and Figure 9-10, we can see that the design of shock
absorber made of ASTM A228 and AISI 9255 were safe for mode 1 and mode 2. Against as in modal analysis case, the
shock absorber made of both material has different result. This indicates that the shock absorber predicted to be safe
against mode 1-2 modal analysis but may fail under modal analysis for mode 3-6.
CONCLUSION
The object of this research was to ensure the appropriateness of shock absorber design based on finite element
analysis. In this research, six different new shock absorbers are designed. Shock absorber design have varying model
of spring and varying size of spring. The varying model and size of spring are created to reduce mass of the shock
absorber and to know the equivalent stress distribution in the shock abosrber. Static structural and modal analysis of
the shock absorber have been done using ANSYS 19.1. Based on static structural analysis results, safety factors for
fatigue life have been calculated. Fatigue calculations have been carried out for ASTM A231 and AISI 9255 materials
based on Goodman, Soderberg, and Gerber fatigue theories. FEA in this study show that all new shock absorber designs
are safe against static loading. Based on modal analysis the shock absorber design predicted to be safe under modal
analysis mode 1-2 but may fail under modal analysis mode 3-6. The best shock absorber design for under static loading
is new shock absorber design with 6 mm diameter and revolution model of spring made of AISI 9255 material because
this design is lighter than pitch model.

Abstract: The shock absorber is a component designed to smooth out the shock impulse and
dissipate kinetic energy. The engine is the main power of the vehicle and the most direct reason that
cause the vibration of the vehicle. If the shock absorber cannot control the vibration, will make other
parts of the body has seriously affect like vehicle handling stability and shorten the vehicle's
component life. The shock absorber system connects a vehicle to its wheels and contributes to the
vehicle’s road handling and braking for better safety and driving pleasure and offering a comfortable
ride well isolated from road noise, bumps, vibrations. In this paper, the authors propose a new shock
absorber design that it can smooth out or damp shock impulse, dissipate kinetic energy, and reduced
amplitude of disturbances with light weight. When a vehicle is through on a level road and the
wheels strike a bump, the spring is compressed. The compressed spring will attempt to return to its
normal loaded length and will rebound past its normal height, causing the passenger and body
vehicle to be lifted. The rebound process is repeated over and over, a little less each time, until the
xlii
up-and-down movement finally stops. The design of spring in the shock absorber system is a vital
component. In this research, a shock absorber is created using SolidWorks 2014. The model is also
varying diameter and revolution number of the spring. Structural analysis and modal analysis are
done on the shock absorber by varying material for ASTM A231 and ASTM A228 using ANSYS
19.1. The analysis is done by considering loads, bike weight with 2 person passengers. Structural
analysis was done to validate the strength of the materials and design. Modal analysis was done to
know the displacements for different frequencies for the number of modes. Comparison is done for
two materials with a varying diameter and revolution number of springs to verify the best materials
and design for the shock absorber. Based on the structural analysis result, the safety factor for the
fatigue life of the shock absorber design has been calculated based on Goodman, Soderberg, and
Gerber fatigue theories. The stresses and strains were also found to be optimum which leads to
increase of structural strength of the shock absorber.

1. Introduction
The shock absorber system has used widely in different fields, such as civil, aerospace and
automotive engineering, for vibration absorption and system stability [1][2]. The shock absorber is
a mechanical component of vehicle that function to reduce the vibrations. The shock absorber
includes spring, valves and orifices used to manage the flow of oil and gasses through an internal
piston [3]. The shock absorbers minimize the effect of traveling over rough ground, leading to
improved ride quality and vehicle handling. The shock absorbers in motorcycle use valving of oil
or gas to absorb excess energy from the springs cause by traveling. Spring was chosen by the factory
based on the weight of the vehicle (loaded and unloaded). During hysteresis in the tire, they damp
the energy stored in the motion of the unsprung weight up and down [4]. Effective of wheel
motorcycle bounce damping may require tuning shocks to an optimal resistance [5][6]. Spring of
the shock absorbers in motorcycle commonly use coil springs. Motorcycle usually employ both
xliii
hydraulic shock absorbers and springs. In this combination, shock absorber refers specifically to the
hydraulic piston that absorbs and dissipates vibration and energy [7][8].
Hydraulic and pneumatic shock absorbers usually take the form of a cylinder with a sliding
piston inside. The cylinder is filled with a fluid or gas. This fluid-filled piston/cylinder combination
is a dashpot. One of design decision, when designing or choosing the shock absorber, is where that
energy will release. In most shock absorber, the excess energy is converted to heat inside the viscous
fluid. In hydraulic cylinders, the hydraulic fluid will heat up, while in gas cylinders, the hot gasses
will exhaust to the atmosphere or environment. In general, the shock absorbers help cushion vehicle
on uneven tracks [9].
The spring of shock absorber able to operate in any conditions under a wide range of
temperatures. The spring store energy rather than dissipating it. Metal spring type shock absorbers
are used then measures should be provided to limit oscillations. Metal springs are often used with
viscous dampers. There are a number of different types of metal springs including helical springs,
bevel washers(cone-springs), leaf springs, ring springs and etc. Each spring type has its own
operating characteristics [10].
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computer-based numerical methode to calculate the
phenomena and behavior of engineering structures. It can be used to determine stress, strain,
deformation, safety factor, vibration, buckling behavior and other phenomena. It can be used to
calculate either small or large-scale deformation under loading or unloading. It can analyze elastic
deformation or plastic deformation. This technique is also distinguished from finite differential
equations, for which although the steps into which space is divided are finite in size, there is little
freedom in the shapes that the discreet steps can take. FEA is a way to deal with structures that are
more complex than can be dealt with analytically using partial differential equations. FEA deals
with complex boundaries better than finite difference equations and gives answers to structural
problems.
xliv
In FEA, the actual continuum or body of matter like solid, liquid or gas is represented as an
assemblage of subdivisions called finite elements. These elements considered to be interconnected
at specified joints called nodes or Nodal points. The nodes usually lie on the element boundaries
where adjacent elements considered to be connected since actual variation of the field variable
inside a finite variable inside a finite element can be approximated by a function. These approximate
functions are defined in terms of the value of the field’s variables at the nodes. A static structural
analysis determines the stresses, strains, and deformation in structures or components caused by
loads that do not induce significant inertia and damping effects. Steady loading and transient loading
response conditions are assumed; that is, the loads and the structure's response and phenomena are
assumed to vary slowly with respect to time [1][2][5][11].
The research about shock absorber simulation has been done, A. Chinnamahammad bhasha,
N. Vijay rami reddy, B. Rajnaveen, worked on suspension system also created and a 3D model is
generated using CATIA V5 R21. The project used spring steel, phosphor bronze, berilium copper
and titanium alloy as spring material. They considered weight of bike with double riding. Final
comparison is done for different materials to calculated best material for spring in the shock
absorber. Modeling is done in CATIA and analysis is done in ANSYS [12]. Syambabu Nutalapati,

and modal analysis are done on the shock absorber by varying material for Spring Steel and
Molybdenum [13]. Pinjarla Poornamohan, Lakshmana Kishore, In their project a shock absorber is
designed and a 3D model is created using Pro/Engineer. The size of spring is varied and the material
is spring steel and beryllium copper. Structural analysis is done to verify the displacement at number
of nodes at different frequencies using Ansys [14]. Rahul Tekade, Chinmay Patil, has carried

Sudarshan et al. has created a new methodology which allows designing the partr of a shock
absorber by using finite element analysis (FEA). In production of shock absorbers, it is difficult to
know the accuracy and precision of shock absorber which doesn’t fail. The shock absorber is
generated by using CAD software and analysed in ANSYS workbench by considering the weight
of vehicle. In the results, deflection and stress induced in the shock absorber are studied [16].
2. CAD and Finite Element Model
2.1 CAD Model
Shape and size of the shock absorber component have significant influence on the
performance of shock absorber a during travelling period especially spring. The important
component of a shock absorber are upper mount, piston rod, cylinder and lower mount [17]. All the
different compnent of the shock absorber are created separately in SolidWorks 2014 software and
all the individual parts of the shock absorber are assembled in the SolidWorks 2014 shown in Fig.
1-4. The design of shcok absorber must appropriate to the vehicle. In this research a series of shock
absorber design with different diameter and revolution number of springs shown in Table 1. Spring
with different diameter and revolution number generally have different stress concentration and
stress distribution and perhaps to increase lifetime and safety factor of the shock absorber. Spring
with large diameter provide maximal stress distribution. However, it increased the weight of shock
absorber and increase the energy consumption of vehicle. In other hand, spring with minimum
diameter will decrease the weight of shock absorber and increase the possibility of failure caused
by stress concentration and poor stress distribution [18]. Therefore, this research needs to be done
in order to obtain an optimal shock absorber design in terms of weight, comfort during tarveling
and good mechanical properties. In this research, 6 different shock absorber design with varying
diameter and revolution number of spring are generated to achieve best shock absorber design.
The model of shock absorber was imported in ANSYS 19.1 and meshing is done for analysis
shown in Fig. 5. Structural analysis and modal analysis performed applying average two passengers
xlvi
and stress distribution, total deformation and safety factor was calculated. Maximal and minimal
stress (von misses) variation with respect to time was recorded. Maximal and minimal stress
variation were used to determine safety factor and properness of the shock absorber. On the lower
mount of the shock absorber, a fixed support is assigned to withstand the forces acting on the shock
absorber as shown in Fig. 6. Whenever a certain external load is applied on the upper mount of a
shock absorber, the shock absorber cylinder moves down and compresses the spring. For applying
the load on the shock absorber, the weight of the vehicle with two passengers is calculated
[11][12][13][14].
In this project a new design of shock absorber has been simulated to consider safety factor
to estimate the properness of the shock absorber. The purpose of a novel design for a shock absorber
was obtained light, reliable, good and durable design [19]. The purpose of making this new design
is to produce a shock absorber design with the ability to have the maximum capability with the
lightest weight. The shock absorber design has to reduce the stress distribution during loading and
unloading, perhaps will increase the lifetime and properness of the shock absorber [20]. With the
variety of spring diameter and revolution number in the shock absorber is expected to reduce the
weight and distribute the stress of the shock absorber [21][22].
2.2 Finite Element Model
In the present research an attempt has been made to consider safety factor and stress
distribution to determine the useful life of the shock absorber. First a finite element model of the
shock absorber was created in SolidWorks 2014. The developed model was imported in ANYS 19.1
using parasolid extension. Static structural and modal analysis of shock absorber carried out to
evaluated about the safety factor and appropriatennes of the shock absorber model. Static analysis
was performed applying average weight of vehicle and two passanger (7500 N). A CAD model of
shock absorber was created in SolidWorks 2014 as per dimension in Fig. 1-4 and saved in Parasolid
format, which was then imprted in ANSYS 19.1 for further simulation. The shock absorber was
xlvii
defined with linear elastic isotropic material. Table 2 shown ASTM A231 and ASTM A228
properties were assigned to the spring of shock absorber and ASTM 40 were given to the upper and
bottom component. Standard surface contact was defined between bottom and upper component.
Coefficient of friction equal to 0.1 was assumed as the component is generally well lubricated by
fluid or oil. The simulation of the shock absorber which must be taken into account not to cause
failure of the shock absorber .To evaluated how structural and modal analysis result differ from
each other design of shock absorber, with varying the materials, model and diameter of the spring.
Finite element analysis of the shock absorber was carried out using ANSYS 19.1 on a P4 2.0 GHz
Intel processor PC. Static structural and modal analysis of shock absorber have to conducted to
ensure about the safety factor and properness of the shock absorber design [21][22][23].
3. Results and Discussion
FEA of the shock absorber are carried out using ANSYS 19.1. The rules of optimization in
this research are to ensure that the shock absorber design is proper or not. The maximum equivalent
stress on the shock absorber should be lower than the endurance limit of the materials. In addition,
the stress on the shock absorber design should be evenly distributed. The von Mises stress was
adopted as the criterion in this work. The von Mises yield criterion is part of a plasticity theory that
applies best to ductile materials, such as metals. Prior to yield, the material response is assumed to
be elastic. In materials science and engineering the von Mises yield criterion can be formulated in
terms of the von Mises stress. The von Mises stress is used to predict yielding of materials under
any loading condition from results of simple uniaxial tensile tests. The von Mises stress has
therefore also been widely used in the finite element analysis of artificial joints. Table 3 shows the
von Mises stress and total deformation on the shock absorber design under static loading. Fig. 7-8
show the von Mises stress on the shock absorber design under static loading. The result presented
in this study indicated that when a shock absorber is loaded. From the result can concluded that in
shock absorber design made of ASTM A231 and ASTM A288 is safe because the maximum von
xlviii
misses stress in below the yield point of materials. The same result was obtained from dyanmics
(transient structural) analysis shown in Tabel 4 and Fig. 9-10. From the result can concluded that in
shock absorber design made of ASTM A231 and ASTM A288 is safe under dynamic loading
because the maximum von misses stress in below the yield point of materials [24].
In other hand the shock absorber design made of ASTM A228 with diameter 9 mm and
revolution number 9 is the best design for under static loading. However, for under dynamic loading
the shock absorber design made of ASTM A231 with diameter of spring 8.5 mm and revolution
number 14 is the best design.
Goodman, Soderberg and Gerber theories was used for determining of safety factor of shock
absorber designs. In this research, safety factor of the shock absorber is evaluated using ANSYS
Workbench. Safety factor calculations of the shock absorber are conducted for ASTM A231 and
ASTM A228 materials. In the FEA, the materials are considered to be isotropic elasticity. Therefore,
the safety factor was ensured to be more than 1 that conclude the shock absorber design is safe [25].
The formulation of goodman, soderberg and gerber theories can be seen in Table 5.
𝜎𝑚 =(𝜎𝑚𝑎𝑥+𝜎𝑚𝑖𝑛)
2 (1)
𝜎𝑎 =(𝜎𝑚𝑎𝑥− 𝜎𝑚𝑖𝑛)
2 (2)
N = Safety Factor
Se = Endurance Limit (MPa)
Su = Ultimate Tensile Strength (MPa)
𝝈𝒎 = Mean Stress (MPa)
𝝈𝒂 = Alternating Stress (MPa)
From Table. 6-7, we can see that all new shock absorber design has different safety factor
values according to all fatigue theory, but all new shock absorber has safety factor more than 1. This
means that all shock absorber designs are good design safe under static and dynamic loading is
xlix
considered. Among new shock absorber design, the design with diameter 8.5 mm and revolution
number 14 made of ASTM A231 better than the others. Because this design has higher safety factor
value in all fatigue theories.
4. Modal Analysis
Modal analysis helps to determine the vibration characteristics (natural frequencies and
mode shapes) of a mechanical structure or component, showing the movement of different parts of
the structure under dynamic loading conditions, such as those due to the lateral force generated by
the electrostatic actuators. The natural frequencies and mode shapes are important parameters in the
design of a structure for dynamic loading conditions. Modal analysis of the shock absorber was
performed using ANSYS software. Fig. 11 shows the mode shape of the shock absorber at its
fundamental frequency and Table 8-11 shows the natural frequencies of the shock absorber design
for its different vibration modes [16].
A modal analysis is typically used to determine the vibration characteristics (natural
frequencies and mode shapes) of a structure or a machine component while it is being designed. It
can also serve as a starting point for another, more detailed, dynamic analysis, such as a harmonic
response or full transient dynamic analysis. Modal analyses, while being one of the most basic
dynamic analysis types available in ANSYS, can also be more computationally time consuming
than a typical static analysis. In this research, point mass about 250 kg carried out using Modal
Analysis ANSYS 19.1 Workbench. [12][13]
From the result of Modal Analysis shown in Table 8-11 and Fig. 12-15, we can see that the
design of shock absorber made of ASTM A228 and ASTM A231 were safe for mode 1 and mode
2. Against as in modal analysis case, the shock absorber made of both material has different result.
This indicates that the shock absorber predicted to be safe against mode 1-2 modal analysis but may
fail under modal analysis for mode 3-6.

5. Conclusion
The object of this research was to ensure the ability and properness of shock absorber design
based on finite element analysis. In this research, six different new shock absorbers are designed.
Shock absorber design have varying diameter and revolution number of spring. The varying
diameter and revolution number of springs are created to reduce mass of the shock absorber and to
know the equivalent stress distribution in the shock abosrber. Structural and modal analysis of the
shock absorber have been done using ANSYS 19.1. Based on structural analysis results, safety
factors for fatigue life have been calculated. Fatigue calculations have been carried out for ASTM
A228 and ASTM A231 materials based on Goodman, Soderberg, and Gerber fatigue theories. FEA
in this study show that all new shock absorber designs are safe against static and dynamic loading.
Based on modal analysis the shock absorber design predicted to be safe under modal analysis mode
1-2 but may fail under modal analysis mode 3-6. The best shock absorber design for under static
and dynamic loading is new shock absorber design with 9 mm diameter and 12 revolution number
of spring made of ASTM A231 material because this design is lighter than other design.
