The objective of this work is to study the dynamical behaviour of vehicle supension system employing asynmetrical viscous damping, with a focus on improving passenger comfort, considering geometric nonlinearities which are present in the system. Previous studies have shown that the use of asymmetrical dampers in these types of systems can be advantageous with regard to the comfort of the passengers. However, there is a deficiency in understanding the dynamic behaviour of such systems. Therefore, further analysis of this problem should be conducted. The modeling and the behaviour of suspensions of two configurations, one with symmetrical viscous damping and another with asymmetrical viscous damping are presented and compared. The simulations are performed using a quarter-car model to analyze the vertical dynamics. The geometric configuration of a suspension system is taken into account in modeling the damping force and spring force, to include geometrical nonlinearities in the model. The road profile is introduced into the system through a harmonic excitation. Several values of excitation frequency are used to describe the various irregularities of different types of road. Mathematical models of the described suspension systems are analyzed by numerical simulation. Through computational analysis and usual methods in nonlinear dynamics, including time history, phase plane and frequency response, it is possible to identify regions where unwanted phenomena occur. For this analysis, the values of the damping coefficient for the compression and extension of the damper were varied, establishing an asymmetry ratio. Through modeling and computer simulations in this study, the choice of the asymmetry ratio diminishes the effects that the unever road causes on the displacement and acceleration of the sprung mass. This decrease can also improve the comfort for the passengers
