Isolation of the body from the forces generated by the ground unevenness - tire
provides some help in this respect (ride control)
Control of tire normal forces on the ground - by following the ground surface, the tires
will have traction and lateral control (road holding control)

relative magnitudes.
• Basic 1 and 2 DOF models provide good tools for studying the
dependence of ride performance on component parameter
values.
• Ride analysis focuses on vibrational response of a vehicle to
road excitation, allowing study of the dependence on the
distribution of mass, stiffness, and damping.
• The transfer function models can also show how some
objectives can be at odds with others (introducing the need for
controls).
• It can take time and experience to use basic models effectively,
so nonlinear simulation ends up being a strong tool that can help
overcome difficulties with building insight.
• Later we will examine how active elements and feedback
principles are used in controlled suspensions.

Where the two frequencies, fn and fn+1 are successive band limits (lower and upper),
and the index k is a positive integer or a fraction according to a whole octave or
fractional octave.
For example, if k = 1, the ratio between successive bands is 2. If k = 1/3, then the
ratio between the upper and lower band limits is 1.26.
Associated with each band is a center frequency, fc, which is given by the geometric
