Abstract: Acceleration shock, which occurs immediately after depression of the accelerator, had been assumed to be caused mainly by the torsional vibration of the power train with one node. We clarified, by experiments and simulation models, that the acceleration shock is also affected by the fore-and-aft rigid-body vibration of the powerplant, which up to now has now been considered as a cause.
Keywords: vehicle acceleration shock; vehicle vibration; powertrain; simulation; engine torque; vehicle suspension; vehicle design.
