Thumbs up

Thought I would share some very preliminary results comparing one of Scott's Shock Dyno tests to the Shock Simulation I'm working on for RC Crew Chief. This is the AE big bore shock, 2x1.5 piston, 350cst oil. Graphs are the Force vs Displacement (F-D) and Force vs Velocity (F-V) that are the typical shock dyno outputs Scott has presented.

So far it's a pretty decent correlation. While these shocks are fairly simple there is a lot happening so it will be difficult to reproduce every bump and bulge in the curves. As has already been mentioned the key parameter is the slope of the F-V graph. That is what determines the damping coefficient.

We all need to say a big thanks to Scott for sharing this data. Without it none of this would be possible.
