Abstracts: Shock absorbers are a critical part of a suspension system, connecting the vehicle to its wheels. The need for dampers arises because of the roll and pitches associated with vehicle maneuvering, and from the roughness of roads. In the mid nineteenth century, road quality was generally very poor. The rapidly increasing power available from the internal combustion engine made higher speeds routine; this, plus the technical aptitude of the vehicle and component designers, coupled with a general commercial mood favoring development and change, provided an environment that led to invention and innovation of shock absorbers. Shock absorbers are devices that smooth out an impulse experienced by a vehicle, and appropriately dissipate or absorb the kinetic energy. shock absorbers have become such an essential component of an automobile even then there has been no particular method to test it using Finite Element Analysis technique and most of the testing is done using the physical tests. Thus this project focuses on design, analysis reports of the Rear Shock Absorber of the Bike.
