Abstract: The paper presents issues related to the operation of hydraulic shock absorbers. The
primary objective was to determine the influence of temperature and the technical condition on the
damping properties of a twin-tube hydraulic shock absorber. Three units (one new and two used) of
the same type of a shock absorber were used for testing. During the tests, the shock absorber was
subjected to sinusoidal excitation at fixed values of frequency and displacement amplitudes. There
are few low-temperature tests of shock absorbers available in the literature; thus, great emphasis
was placed on this aspect of the study. The characteristics of the shock absorbers were determined
from a temperature of −30 ◦ C until a steady-state temperature was reached at a given excitation. The
resistance force at this temperature is about 2.5 times higher than at 20 ◦ C. The study shows that such
high forces can lead to the failure of shock absorber components (especially the valves). The amount
of energy dissipated in a single operating cycle of a shock absorber decreases non-linearly with the
increase of the temperature. Understanding the temperature dependence of the shock absorber in
combination with the cooling curve allows for the steady-state temperature to be estimated at a
given excitation. The study also shows that the installation of used shock absorbers in vehicles is not
acceptable. Although there are no external signs of wear, their characteristics can differ significantly

temperatures, viscosity increased rapidly. This directly affects the damping coefficient of
the shock absorber.
The impact of temperature is also assessed for dampers with adjustable damping
characteristics. Paper [20] describes the influence of temperature on the characteristics
of a damper with a magnetorheological fluid. Heating up the shock absorber changes
the viscosity of the oil; however, it also changes the resistance of the control coils. These
two factors change the values of the shock absorber resistance forces. Corresponding
results were reported by the authors in [21]. The presented test results were obtained for
temperatures ranging from 25 ◦ C to 70 ◦ C.
The literature includes analytical papers [22–24]. In [23], the authors presented a
thermodynamic model of a shock absorber. The model allows determination of the steady-
state temperatures and heat transfer to the environment. The simulation results were
compared with experimental results. Similar considerations are presented in paper [22].
The effects of the heating of a shock absorber during its operation have been correlated
to the durability of the seals and their resistance to elevated temperatures. There are also
studies in which simulations are conducted with the application of sophisticated software,
fluids flowing through valves, and their effect on resistance forces. For example, in [24],
numerical investigation of the orifice nearfield flow development in oleo-pneumatic shock
absorbers was presented.
In most publications, the results of tests on hydraulic shock absorbers are mainly
related to the determination of their characteristics at temperatures around 20 ◦ C, or the
change in their damping abilities at higher temperatures, resulting mainly from their
warming up during intensive operation. This is, naturally, due to typical vehicle operating
conditions. However, in the available literature, there is a lack of publications related to tests
at low temperatures, which are, after all, encountered during winter in many countries (for
example, Scandinavian countries or mountainous regions). Shock absorber manufacturers
declare the correct operating range as low as approx. −40–30 ◦ C, and the damping forces
can change significantly under these conditions. For this reason, the primary objective
of this study was to determine the effect of a wide-range temperature variation on the
damping force value of a hydraulic shock absorber. An additional objective was to analyse
the ability of a shock absorber to dissipate heat, which is directly related to its warming
during the operation.
Appl. Sci. 2022, 12, 12765 Testing was conducted on a hydraulically driven stand. This apparatus allows for4 the

The heat exchange can be determined by Newton’s law of cooling. The temperature

Appl. Sci. 2022, 12, 12765 8 of 11
The heat exchange can be determined by Newton’s law of cooling. The temperature
change is defined by relation (1) [25]:
where:
Ta —ambient temperature (◦ C),
To —initial temperature (◦ C),
t—time (s),
κ—cooling constant (1/s).
After the integration of the equation (1), we obtain an expression that can be written
in the form (2):
T(t) = Ta − (To − Ta )·exp(−κ t) (2)
Using the results shown in Figure 7, the value of κ equals 0.00071 s−1 . The cooling
constant κ may also be defined by the Equation (3):
κ = (λ·A)/(m·c), (3)
where:
λ—equivalent heat transfer coefficient (W/(m2 ·K)),
A—heat exchange surface area (m2 ),
m—mass (kg),
c—specific heat (J/(kg·K)).
Assuming that the quantities shown above do not change along with the temperature,
it is possible to determine the steady-state operating temperature for other ambient temper-
atures. This is conducted by using the equilibrium conditions between external work and
dissipated energy (heat flux) (4).
where:
Q—heat flux (W),
Ed —energy dissipated during one cycle (J),
tc —duration of one operating cycle (s).
The lack of a linear relationship between the energy dissipated during one cycle (at a
constant value of amplitude and frequency of movement) and the temperature requires an
iterative solution using the relationship shown in Figure 9.

4. Discussion
The paper presents issues related to the influence of the technical condition and the
temperature on shock absorber damping characteristics. For a used shock absorber, for
which the Eusama indicator value was E = 58%., the determined value of the damping
coefficient in the rebound range was approximately 24% lower compared to a new shock
absorber. Shock absorber 3, sold as a used shock absorber in a working condition, was
found to be serviceless. It is important to be aware that the performance of a shock absorber
has a direct impact on the driving safety. Regulations in many countries prohibit the
reinstallation of safety-relevant parts; thus, the use of second-hand shock absorbers is
not permitted.
During its intensive use, a shock absorber heats up rapidly. A contaminated outer
surface can impede proper heat dissipation, leading to overheating of the shock absorber.
The lower part of the shock absorber is the one heating up the fastest.
The dissipation of heat to the environment (reduction of the temperature of the shock
absorber) is well described by Newton’s cooling law. For the shock absorber tested, the
cooling constant was 0.00071 1/s.
The change in temperature has a direct effect on the change in viscosity of the oil and
thus, on the resistance forces of the shock absorber. The greatest impact is observed for
negative temperatures. For the tested shock absorber, the force obtained at −30 ◦ C was
approximately 2.5 higher than at 20 ◦ C. The intense operation at low temperatures can
result in the failure of the damper valves. At sub-zero temperatures, the displacement of
the piston relative to the cylinder even at low speeds rapidly generates high-resistance
forces. Excessively high damping forces increase the forces transmitted to the vehicle body
and also, increase the possibility of the wheels pulling away from the road surface.
A limitation for the tests conducted was the method of measuring the temperature at
the surface of the shock absorber. In further research, it might be important to additionally
monitor the oil temperature in both the inner and outer chambers. This would enable the
process of heat transfer to the environment to be analysed.
In addition, tests with different excitation parameters at low, stabilised temperatures
could provide valuable results. However, such tests require the use of a climate chamber.
