This paper outlines a theoretical model of a dual-tube damper, presents the results of a digital simulation and compares them with previous experimental results. The damper characteristics are confirmed as being highly non-linear and exhibiting hysteresis effects. A prediction of the ride performance of a vehicle fitted with these dampers is made and shows that the typical linear and bilinear models of the damper are inappropriate and lead to over-optimistic estimates of ride performance.
