Suspension <strong>Systems</strong> - Conflicting Criteria<br />
• In order to improve the ride quality, it is necessary to isolate<br />
the body.<br />
• To improve the ride stability, it is important to keep the tire in<br />
contact with the road surface.<br />
• For a given suspension spring, the better isolation <strong>of</strong> the sprung<br />
mass from road disturbances can be achieved with a s<strong>of</strong>t<br />
damping by allowing a larger suspension deflection.<br />
• Better road contact can be achieved with a hard damping<br />
preventing unnecessary suspension deflections.<br />
Therefore, the ride quality and the drive stability are two<br />
conflicting criteria.<br />
