    — To get an intuitive feeling for the characteristics of H'-spaces, it is instructive to consider an important class of such spaces, the suspensions. The suspension of an arbitrary topological space Y is defined to be the quotient space of Y#92;timesI where Y#92;times 0 is identified to one point and Y#92;times 1 is identified to another point. For example, the suspension of a circle is a cylinder with the two ends collapsed into one point each; in other words, a space homeomorphic to a sphere.

    — A model category is called pointed if the initial object and terminal object are the same. The homotopy category of any pointed model category acquires a suspension functor denoted by #92;Sigma. It turns out that #92;text#123;Ho#125;(M) is a pre-triangulated category in a natural way[…]. When the suspension is an equivalence, M is called a stable model category, and in this case #92;text#123;Ho#125;(M) becomes a triangulated category[…].
  12. The system of springs and shock absorbers connected to the wheels in an automobile, which allows the vehicle to move smoothly with reduced shock to its occupants. countable,uncountable
    — If you drive over a speed bump, the left and right tires push the suspension upward at the same time.

词源

Borrowed from Late Latin suspensiōnem (“arching, vaulting; suspension”), from suspendēre (“to hang up, to suspend”), from sub- (“under”) + pendere (“to hang, to suspend”), from Proto-Italic *pendō (“to hang, to put in a hanging position”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)pénd-e-ti, from *(s)pend- (“to pull; to spin”)). Compare Anglo-Norman suspensiun, French suspension, Occitan suspensio.
