EFFECT OF FAIL-SAFE MODEON THE DAMPING CHARACTERISTICSOF A BYPASS-CONTROLLED SHOCK ABSORBER

The article provides and discusses results of tests of a bypass-controlled hydraulic shock absorber studied at a test stand(mechanical inductor),making it possible to plot work charts and determine velocity characteristics. Measurements of the shock absorber performance were conducted at different values of velocity and forced travel. The measurements were carried out for two statuses, i.e. for the emergency power failure condition and for normal setting. The results thus obtained can be used in simulation tests as input shock absorption characteristics for different technical conditions.
