Fig. 4 and fig. 5 shows how the piston damping hole in the
hydraulic cylinder under different diameter influences the
vertical displacement and acceleration of the car, which is how
it influences the smoothness. After analyzing the two figures, it
can be seen that the response time of incentive of body vertical
displacement and vertical acceleration become short as damping
hole diameter reduction under the reasonable range of diameter
.The maximum overshoot of body shock displacement and the
peak value of acceleration become smaller and smaller with the
damping hole diameter became smaller, from the above tests, it can
be concluded that the system with small damping hole has bigger Fig. 6: Vertical Displacements Under Different Excitation
damping relatively, mainly because the influence of damping force Controller System
which comes from damping orifice flow area of hydro-pneumatic
suspension, thus has influence on vibration characteristics of
hydro-pneumatic suspension. The response time of body vertical
displacement shortened when the diameter range of damping hole
to reduce, the number of shocks have increased accompanying
with mutations at the same time, the peak value of acceleration
increase due to the oil cavity pressure of internal, this means
that, the diameter of damping hole is not as small as possible,
the smaller damping hole will make body shock increased. So,
selection the damping hole diameter will ensure the ride comfort
requirements effectively in the process of driving.

Comparing the fig. 6 and fig. 7 that can be seen the vertical 1. A new and improved hydro-pneumatic suspension with the

shows that the improved model about interconnection suspension
