2. Monroe (automobile) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe_(automobile)

   The Monroe had started as a light, small car, with only open cars on offer. By 1918 they came equipped with an engine of the company's own design, and a sedan was included in the price lists by 1918. [2] At this time, Louis Chevrolet was brought in by William Small as a consulting engineer to "work out design problems for the Monroe car."

3. Gas spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_spring

   A gas spring consists of a sealed cylinder filled with a charge of high-pressure [5] gas, a piston rod attached to a piston with a sliding seal, and some oil. [1] The piston (or the cylinder wall) contains a number of channels that allow the gas to transfer between the lower chamber (between the piston and the closed end of the cylinder) and the upper chamber (between the piston and the head ...

4. Automotive suspension design process - Wikipedia

   Designing the spring rates; Designing shock absorber characteristics; Designing the structure of each component so that it is strong, stiff, light, and cheap; Analysing the vehicle dynamics of the resulting design; Since the 1990s the use of multibody simulation and finite element software has made this series of tasks more straightforward.

5. MacPherson strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut

   Despite the drawbacks, the MacPherson strut set-up is still used on some high performance cars, because they tend to have relatively small suspension travel, and so do not have the same kinematic problems. Up until the 1989 model year (964), Porsche 911 used a similar strut design that did not have coil springs, using torsion bar suspension ...

7. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   Pneumatic and hydraulic shock absorbers are used in conjunction with cushions and springs. An automobile shock absorber contains spring-loaded check valves and orifices to control the flow of oil through an internal piston (see below). [1] One design consideration, when designing or choosing a shock absorber, is where that energy will go.
