  1. Adjustable Linear Shock Absorber Redesign Matt Davis Joe O’Connor Ben Patterson Advisor: Mr. Lobaugh

  2. Agenda • Sponsor Info • Contract Details • Design Problem • Analysis of Competitors Shock • Prototype Design Analysis • Final Design Analysis

  3. Modern Industries • Founded in 1946 • Herbet S. Sweny • Industries Served • Machining • Heat Treating • Materials Research • Products Division

  4. Products Division • Currently 7 Shocks • None adjustable • Custom for each customer • Our Project • Adjustable linear shock absorber • “Catalog Version”

  5. Objective Statement • Study and reengineer an OEM linear shock absorber in order to provide a better working, more cost effective product that can be mass produced for a wide variety of commercial and industrial uses.

  6. Specific Goals • Improvements: • Better functionality – Adjustment Method • Material/design improvements • More cost effective product

  7. Scope & Limitations • Scope • 3D models and working drawings of new designs • Simulate and test with FEA • Research material changes • Limitations • Only redesigning OEM linear 1B model • Materials limited to commercially available materials

  8. Deliverables • All concepts ideas • FEA results • Hand calculations to verify FEA • Working drawings of final design • Prototype

  9. Upper Level Courses • MET 306 - Modeling • MET 320 – Hand Calculations • MET 415/425 – FEA of Designs • MET 432 – Internal Fluid • MET 457 – Product Improvements • MET 470 – Material Selection • QC 450 – FMEA
