for various conditions. Similarly, graphs for transmission of energy are also plotted.
To have minimum transmissibility at different excitation, some parameters such as
spring stiffness, damping coefficient, and geometry of the attachment have been
changed or modified. This modification is to achieve vehicular ride comfort.

The conceptual solid model prepared using SolidWorks software by following
bottom-up approach of assembly. Traditional suspension (a) wherein primary and
secondary tubes are not always parallel while riding on bumpy roads and the same
has taken into considerations as shown in Fig. 3, whereas in optimized parallel
