    Air Spring For Air Suspension Vehicle - Andrea Faussone

    Purpose

    This document has the aim to provide the basic elements for the design of the air springs. the designer will find the basic formulas to size and develop air suspension system as first approximation.

    Applicability

    This document deals with air springs.

    Figure 01 - Example of air spring

    The air spring is a subsystem of the air suspension.

    The air spring replaces the helical spring in this use.

    It is used primarily in heavy trucks suspension systems.

    Fundamental formulas

    nearly static approach

    The assumptions are the following:

    adiabatic

    Transitional slow - nearly static condition

    Deeming these hypotheses verified, all the characteristics of the spring can be defined.

    The stiffness is the slope of the tangent to the load-displacement curve.

    The stiffness of the air spring is defined as the ratio between the load of the spring and the subtangent of the load-displacement curve at the same
