Design of Hybrid Suspension System for Automotive Applications

چکیده
Comfort travel is order of the day for any automotives in spite of the road conditions. Suspension system holds whole and sole responsibility of providing comfort to the occupants. Intensity of the disturbance originated from road varies with its condition ranging from minimum in case of normal road (Moderately rough) to maximum in case of pot hole or speed breaker. Accordingly stiffness of the suspension system needs to vary which is not so with today’s configuration. To provide solution to this problem a hybrid design has been evolved which will have provision for change over option between two springs with different stiffness values. To start with all the subsystems of the proposed design are identified and sizing of each is evolved through design. Further design adequacy has been assessed through Finite Element Analysis.

A Hybrid Feedback Regulator Approach to Control an Automotive Suspension System
In this paper, we demonstrate a novel hybrid control synthesis approach using an automotive suspension system. Discrete abstractions are used to approximate the continuous dynamics and emphasis is placed on the nondeterministic nature of the abstracting models. The regulator problem for hybrid systems is formulated for safety specifications and algorithms for control design are presented.
