Development of Semi-active Road-friendly Truck Suspensions
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper describes the results of the EC COPERNICUS-Project SADTS (= Semi-Active Damping of Truck Suspensions and its Influence on Drivers and Road Loads). This research project investigated the potential of semi-active truck suspensions optimised for road-friendliness. The improvements are compared to modern passive air springs.

Active and Semi-Active Heavy Truck Suspensions to Reduce Pavement Damage
Active and send-active suspensions have been evaluated for application on tractor/semi-trailer trucks using a pitch plane simulation model called "VESYM". VESYM is a fully nonlinear time domain simulation model. This paper reviews the effect of alternative heavy truck suspensions on pavement damage by using the flexible pavement simulation program "VESYS". It is shown that by estimating axle ti...
متن کاملRobust Control of Quarter-car Semi-active Suspensions
This paper deals with single-wheel suspension car model. The benefits of controlled semi-active suspensions compared to passive ones are here emphasized. The contribution relies on robust analysis of a controller which improves comfort and road holding of the car under industrial specifications. Simulations on an exact nonlinear model of the suspension are performed for control validation.
متن کاملModified Skyhook Control of Semi-Active Suspensions: A New Model, Gain Scheduling, and Hardware-in-the-Loop Tuning
In this paper, a road adaptive modified skyhook control for the semi-active Macpherson strut suspension system of hydraulic type is investigated. A new control-oriented model, which incorporates the rotational motion of the unsprung mass, is introduced. The control law extends the conventional skyhook-groundhook control scheme and schedules its gains for various road conditions. Using the verti...
متن کاملModeling and control of an off-road truck using electrorheological dampers
This work deals with the mathematical modeling and control of the semi-active suspension of an MAN off-road truck with a payload of 5 tons which comprises electrorheological dampers. Thereby, a cascaded control structure with four controllers for the control of a quartercar in the inner control loop and a superimposed control strategy for the overall vehicle is used. The main goal of the contro...
متن کاملStructured H2 Optimization of Vehicle Suspensions Based on Multi-Wheel Models
Various control techniques, especially LQG optimal control, have been applied to the design of active and semi-active vehicle suspensions over the past several decades. However passive suspensions remain dominant in the automotive marketplace because they are simple, reliable, and inexpensive. The force generated by a passive suspension at a given wheel can depend only on the relative displacem...
