ABSTRACT
In this paper, the force transfer mechanism of three mechanical elements “inerter, spring and
damper” is analyzed based on the “force-current” analogy theory. The vibration isolation
performance of the two types of simple three-element vehicle suspensions S1 (inerter is in
parallel with damper) and S2 (inerter is in series with damper) are studied. The dual-
-mass system model of the suspensions is built by means of using the mechanical impedance
method. The influence of parameters variation on vibration transfer characteristics is also
investigated.
