A universal suspension test rig for electrohydraulic active and passive automotive suspension system

Electrohydraulic effects on the modelling of a vehicle active suspension

A car suspension incorporating a Lotus actuator and a TVR suspension/wheel unit is studied both experimentally and analytically. An emphasis is placed on hydraulic modelling using a series of transfer functions linking the hydraulic and suspension components. This is signi cantly aided by the use of a Moog 2000 programmable servo controller (PSC ) to equalize the extending and retracting ow gai...

H-infinity Controlled Actuators in Automotive Active Suspension System

In this paper active suspension with linear electric motor has been designed. The active suspension is often hardly rejected for its big energy consumption. This contribution deals with direct real-time energy control in suspension system. The linear electric motor is used as an actuator. This motor can in specific situation generate the energy for next use. The H-infinity controller has been d...

Optimal integrated passive/active design of the suspension system using iteration on the Lyapunov equations

In this paper, an iterative technique is proposed to solve linear integrated active/passive design problems. The optimality of active and passive parts leads to the nonlinear algebraic Riccati equation due to the active parameters and some associated additional Lyapunov equations due to the passive parameters. Rather than the solution of the nonlinear algebraic Riccati equation, it is proposed ...
