Identification of Optimal Control Parameters for a Pneumatic Active Engine Mount System

Modeling of a hydraulic engine mount for active pneumatic engine vibration control using the extended Kalman filter

The attenuation of engine vibration transmitted to a chassis has been a major focus in the automotive community for the increase of comfort for the driver and passengers. A hydro-mount system is designed to reduce the transmission of engine vibration to the chassis. It is also used for supporting the static load by an engine weight. In this paper, we present a modeling and parameter estimation ...

FACTS Control Parameters Identification for Enhancement of Power System Stability

The aim of this paper is to investigate a novel approach for output feedback damping controller design ofSTATCOM in order to enhance the damping of power system low frequency oscillations (LFO). The design ofoutput feedback controller is considered as an optimization problem according with the time domain-basedobjective function which is solved by a honey bee mating optimization algorithm (HBMO...

Vehicle Interior Vibration Simulation-a Tool for Engine Mount Optimization

By new advancements in vehicle manufacturing vehicle quality evaluation and assurance has become a more critical issue. In present work, the vibration transfer path analysis and vibration path ranking of a car interior has been performed. The method is similar to classical multilevel TPA methods but has distinct differences. The method is named VIVS which stands for Vehicle Interior Vibratio...

Development and control of a prototype pneumatic active suspension system

Real physical plants for control experimentation are valuable tools in a control laboratory. This paper describes a prototype pneumatic active suspension system, which was designed and built over a number of years as a sequence of student projects. The physical plant, which models a quarter-car suspension, consists of a wheel, coil springs, a pneumatic actuator for active damping, position and ...
