<p>The fluid circuitry connecting variable volume chambers (26,27) of the semiactive damper (18) includes valve assemblies (28,30) which collectively effect mechanical implementation of a preselected damper control policy that is based in part upon changes in the sign of the absolute velocity of a supported member (12) of the system of which the damper (18) forms a part. One of the valve assemblies (30) has an inertial body (60) which is connected to a movable system member but which remains substantially stationary during system operation. The inertial body (60) and a valve member (54) of the assembly are interconnected by a linkage (56) which in one embodiment includes a frictional type connector (64), and which in another embodiment includes a dashpot (92).</p> |
