2. Shock wave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_wave

   Shock front: The boundary over which the physical conditions undergo an abrupt change because of a shock wave. Contact front: In a shock wave caused by a driver gas (for example the "impact" of a high explosive on the surrounding air), the boundary between the driver (explosive products) and the driven (air) gases. The contact front trails the ...

3. Air suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_suspension

   Air springs, also called "air helper springs," are placed on existing suspension components on the rear or front of the vehicle in order to increase the load capacity. One of the advantages of using air suspension as a load support enhancement is the air springs can be deflated when not towing or hauling and therefore maintaining the factory ...

4. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   A shock absorber or damper is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses. It does this by converting the kinetic energy of the shock into another form of energy (typically heat) which is then dissipated. Most shock absorbers are a form of dashpot (a damper which resists motion via viscous friction).

5. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. [1] Suspension systems must support both road holding/handling and ride quality, [2] which are at odds with each other. The tuning of suspensions involves finding the right compromise.

6. Blast wave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_wave

   Blast waves cause damage by a combination of the significant compression of the air in front of the wave (forming a shock front) and the subsequent wind that follows. [15] A blast wave travels faster than the speed of sound, and the passage of the shock wave usually lasts only a few milliseconds. Like other types of explosions, a blast wave can ...

7. Suspension lift - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_lift

   Air strut also known as full air suspension, air lift or just air suspension is a system that fully replaces struts, springs, coil overs and shocks. Unlike airbag spring helpers they can have a significant increase in passenger comfort and handling.
