Abstract:

Abstract Inthispaper,anewsemi-activemagnetorheological(MR)enginemountinhalfcarmodelisproposed for improving ride comfort. Such a model uses a dynamic sliding mode controller. It operates as a controller system for controlling the magnetic field strength of the engine mount coil. Controlling the magnetic field strength leads to change the magnetorheological liquid properties and thereby the generated force by the liquid. This controller system is simulated and the obtained numerical results are analyzed. It is shown that such a controller has the own great role in improving vehicle ride comfort in such a way that it can remove 60% of the engine’s vibration amplitude in the worst case as well as the its vibration frequency is tended toward zero. Finally, 25% of the total vibration transmittedfromsuspensionsystemtovehiclebodyisreduced. Itisfoundthatusingthiscontroller, the undesirable vibrations imposed on the passengers can be diminished despite uncertainty of the load in the model.

Ride Comfort with Self-organizing Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller for Semi-active Suspension of a Personal Car

The semi-active suspension system can instantly change the damping coefficient depending in order to ‘stiffen’ or ‘soften’ the system. It will effectively and timely eliminate road disturbances on the car body. Thus, research on the semi-active suspension system is necessary. According to the performance test of the proposed adjustable damper, the different damping coefficients can be selected ...

A New Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller with Auto-Adjustable Saturation Boundary Layers Implemented on Vehicle Suspension

This study develops a fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) based on a variable boundary layer. A fuzzy inference mechanism is used to on-line tune the thickness of the boundary layers of the controller. Minimum rule base has been used for the fuzzy inference system which results in low calculation effort. The aim of this paper is to design a controller which will eliminate the chattering of FSM...

Vibration control of an automotive engine using active mounts

In this research, vibration control of national engine (EF7) using active mounts is studied for two different mounting layouts. The first layout is based on the current engine mounting of national engine (system of three passive mounts), but the hydraulic mount is substituted by an active mount. The other mounting layout contains 4 mounts, 2 of which are active ones and the others are passive m...
