Design of Active Suspension Control Using Singular Perturbation Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The presence of fast and slow modes in vehicle suspension systems, based on a half car model, is utilized in the design of active suspension control using singular perturbation theory. This strategy is based on the slow-fast control design. The suspension system performance is optimised with respect to ride comfort, road holding and suspension rattle space as expressed by the mean-square-values of body acceleration (including effects of heave and pitch), tire deflections and front and rear suspension travels. The method of design in this study is based on LQG feedback control combined with singular perturbation theory, and at the end a composite LQG controller has been proposed. Numerical simulations in the time domain evaluate the performance of the active suspension system. In spite of the simplified structure of the composite model, simulation results indicate that its performance is comparable to that of the full-state feedback design.

Singular Perturbation Theory in Output Feedback Control of Pure-Feedback Systems
This paper studies output feedback control of pure-feedback systems with immeasurable states and completely non-affine property. Since availability of all the states is usually impossible in the actual process, we assume that just the system output is measurable and the system states are not available. First, to estimate the immeasurable states a state observer is designed. Relatively fewer res...

Active vehicle suspension system is designed to increase the ride comfort and road holding of vehicles. Due to limitations in the external force produced by actuator, the design problem encounters the constraint on the control input. In this paper, a novel nonlinear controller with the input constraint is designed for the active suspension system. In the proposed method, at first, a constrained...
