Design and Transmissibility Investigation of Shock Absorber Test Rig

The main aim of this project is to analyse the transmissibility at various speeds and load with minimum possible errors. The study of the motion of deformation of mechanical system is a "Mechanical Vibration". If motion of such system repeats itself after a given interval of time, the motion is known as "vibration" or in other words vibration are the fluctuation of mechanical system about equilibrium position. To find the transmissibility of the shock absorber, we will made the shock absorber test rig in which we will used scotch-yoke mechanism for remove the jump phenomenon. Shock absorber is an example of under damped vibration. Here, we will use the scotch-yoke mechanism where motion is transmitted from motor shaft to the shock absorber through the disc. Eccentricity is given to the disc and rotor motion of motor shaft is converted into linear motion of shock absorber. By plotting the graphs at various speeds, we will conclude their effect on the damping properties.
