What is the working principle of mass shock absorbers?

F1 cars will jump when they are moving. For example, when the car hits the shoulder of the road, the vibration frequency of the tires is about 8-9 Hz. Equipped with a mass shock absorber, the balance mass in the middle will move in the opposite direction at the same frequency. This is like building a pool on the roof of a tall building in order to fight an earthquake; when an earthquake hits the building, the water on the roof will move in the opposite direction and at the same frequency, thereby consuming part of the vibration energy. "Back to the racing car, when equipped with mass shock absorbers, when the car body is jumping upwards, the tires move downwards, and vice versa. Adjustable Hydraulic Absorbers factory

 

 

 

With this system, although the vibration frequency of the racing car will not change, the vibration amplitude will be greatly reduced. Use numbers to illustrate: If you calculate the average contact load between the tire and the ground and assume it is 1000KG, then 9~1100KG will be a representative change interval of the tire contact load, but the driver needs to feel it when entering the curve. What is the approximate load of the tyre, is it 900KG or 1100KG? At this time, if there is a balance weight of 10KG, the variation range will be reduced to 950~1050KG. So the mass shock absorber can make the load of the tires more stable. This is F1 racing car in recent years , A breakthrough new technology in suspension. It has a simple and efficient structure. The balance mass suppresses vibration. The only weakness may be to increase the mass of the front part of the car at a higher position.
