Optimization of damping effect for the air spring by the frequency dependent orifice

This study proposes a newly developed structure for a frequency-dependent orifice for an air spring of a passenger train vehicle. This frequency-dependent orifice reduced both the rolling motion and the vertical vibration at high frequency. This paper also presents the numerical simulation results....

description This study proposes a newly developed structure for a frequency-dependent orifice for an air spring of a passenger train vehicle. This frequency-dependent orifice reduced both the rolling motion and the vertical vibration at high frequency. This paper also presents the numerical simulation results.

The air springs provide insulation and damping through air compressibility in the bellows and pressure loss of the airflow passing through an orifice installed between the air spring and the auxiliary reservoir. The frequency characteristics of a standard air spring show a peak at a frequency of ~1 Hz of the rolling motion of the carbody.
