Abstract : Shock absorbers are a critical part of a suspension system, connecting the vehicle to its wheels. The need for
dampers arises because of the roll and pitches associated with vehicle manoeuvring, and from the roughness of roads. In the mid
nineteenth century, road quality was generally very poor. The rapidly increasing power available from the internal combustion
engine made higher speeds routine; this, plus the technical aptitude of the vehicle and component designers, coupled with a
general commercial mood favoring development and change, provided an environment that led to invention and innovation of
shock absorbers.The objective of this project is to study the causes of the bouncing problem at the vehicle and to compare the
failure parts performance in terms of its strength. In this work initially designing the Hero bike shock absorber with design data
using Creo 3.0 and to test the performance of designed shock absorber includes structural and model analysis using ANSYS
Workbench.
There are a number of different methods of converting an impact /collision into relatively smooth cushioned contact.
• Metal Spring
• Rubber Buffer
• Hydraulic Dashpot
• Collapsing safety Shock Absorbers
• Pneumatic Cylinders
• Self compensating Hydraulic
1. METAL SPRINGS
Simply locating metal springs to absorb the impact loads are a low cost method of reducing the collision speed and
reducing the shock loading. They are able to operate in very arduous conditions under a wide range of temperatures. These devices
have high stopping forces at end of stroke. Metal springs store energy rather than dissipating it. If metal sprint 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, mesh
springs etc etc. Each spring type has its own operating characteristics.
3. HYDRAULIC DASHPOT
This type of shock absorber is based on a simple hydraulic cylinder. As the piston rod is moved hydraulic fluid is forced
through an orifice which restricts flow and consequently provides a controlled resistance to movement of the piston rod. With only
one metering orifice the moving load is abruptly slowed down at the start of the stroke. The brakingforce rises to a very high peak
at the start of the stroke and then falls away rapidly. On completion of the stroke the system is stable - the energy being dissipated
in the hydraulic fluid as heat. This type of shock absorbers are provided with Springs sufficient to return the actuator to its initial
position after the impacting load is removed.

XI. CONCLUSION
In this project we have designed a shock absorber used in a bike. We have modeled the shock absorber by using 3D
parametric software Creo. To validate the strength of our design, we have done structural analysis on the Shock absorber. We
have done analysis by component material Aluminium Alloy & spring material Copper Alloy. By comparing the results for
present design and modified design, the stress and displacement values are less for modified design. So we can conclude that as
per our analysis using component material Aluminium Alloy & copper Alloy for spring is best and also our modified design is
safe.
