A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF VIBRATION RECORDERS FOR SUSPENSION TUNING TECHNIQUES, APPLICATIONS, AND RESEARCH GAPS FOR A SMOOTHER DRIVE

Abstract

This paper gives a comprehensive review of the numerous technologies of vibration recording
which are used for suspension systems tuning of vehicles for ride quality, comfort, and stability.
Since road conditions, vehicle dynamics, and load conditions have a direct influence on
suspension performance, correct measurement and analysis of vibrations are very crucial for
optimum settings of suspension. This includes many methods for recording vibratory motion,
including accelerometer-based systems, laser vibrometer, strain gauges, gyroscopic sensors,
inertial measurement units (IMUs), displacement sensors, and acoustic sensors. Every
technique is studied in terms of its working principles, advantages, limitations, and practical
use applications in suspension adjustment
