Potential of Low Bandwidth Active Suspension Control with Continuously Variable Damper
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to rising customer demands for driving comfort, the integration of controlled active and semi-active elements in modern vehicle suspension systems has increased considerably. A significant number of upper class vehicle suspensions is either equipped with continuously variable dampers or low bandwidth actuators. However, the combination of these suspension elements is not applied so far. In this paper active quarter car models are used to design timeinvariant LQR controllers for specific road conditions. By optimizing the controller weights and damping ratio based on a new iterative optimization procedure, the potential of road adaptive low bandwidth systems with continuously variable dampers is clearly highlighted. It is shown that ride comfort can be significantly increased while satisfying given constraints for ride safety (maximum tire deflections) and suspension travel. The achievable performance is compared to passive and high bandwidth active suspension systems using carpet plots.

Semi-Active Control of the Macpherson Suspension System: Hardware- in-the-Loop Simulations
A modified skyhook control for the semi-active Macpherson suspension system is considered. A new quarter-car model, which incorporates the rotational motion of the unsprung mass, is introduced. A feedback control law in the form of a modified skyhook control is derived. Two filters to estimate the absolute velocity of the sprung mass and the relative velocity of the rattle space are designed. B...
متن کاملLinear control of car suspension using nonlinear actuator control
In classic passive suspension design, comfort and road handling are conflicting design criteria. An active or semi-active suspension offers the possibility to vary the damper characteristics along with the road profile. Such systems have discrete settings or are limited in bandwidth up to 10Hz. This paper discusses the development of a controller for a passenger car using a recently developed a...

This paper investigates the application of semi-active inerter in semi-active suspension. A semi-active inerter is defined as an inerter whose inertance can be adjusted within a finite bandwidth by on-line control actions. A force-tracking approach to designing semi-active suspension with a semi-active inerter and a semi-active damper is proposed, where the target active control force derived b...
