Improvement of the Vehicle Seat Suspension System Incorporating the Mechatronic Inerter Element

A mechatronic inerter can simulate the equivalent mechanical network through external electrical and be used in a wide range of device design applications. In this paper, we study use to enhance vibration isolation vehicle seat suspensions. Firstly, vertical pitch movements vehicle’s sprung mass are considered half model. Then, is introduced presented. The particle swarm optimization algorithm was optimize suspension layout parameters with different transfer function-orders. Numerical simulations under speeds were performed, results show that application inerter’s performance outperforms passive suspension. addition, an increase function-order, acceleration RMS values will further reduced. contribute new approach design.
