| Abstract | This study examines the energy dissipation characteristics of a nonlinear vehicle suspension system. The suspension system is described as a nonlinear mass-spring-damper system, which is developed using the output frequency response function (OFRF) technique. This approach allows for the establishment of a direct relationship between the output spectrum of the system (or performance metric) and the nonlinear parameters of interest. The OFRF polynomial, related to the level of energy dissipation, was formulated in terms of the relevant nonlinear parameters. The findings indicate that the OFRF model for energy dissipation can be utilised to estimate the heat generated for specific design parameters. This could offer valuable insights for designing vibration-based energy harvesters, as some of the energy lost as heat could potentially be converted into electrical energy. |
