The main aim of this study is to propose a configuration of regenerative shock absorber for vehicle considering conventional performance. An improved hydraulic shock absorber model with an integrated permanent magnet actuator is established. The dynamic characteristics of both mechanical and electric parts are reviewed for a whole power line. Then, the system is mathematically modeled and implemented by numerical simulation. The obtained results are consistent with the theories of mechanics and energy. The investigation indicates that the proposed configuration of regenerative shock absorber is feasible and deduces a practically technical solution for related fields.
