Abstract:

In this paper, the effects of roll center height of McPherson suspension mechanism on dynamic behaviour of a vehicle are first studied, and then the optimum location of roll center of this suspension system is determined for a conceptual Class A vehicle. ADAMS/Car software was used for the analysis of vehicle dynamic behaviour in different positions of suspension roll center. Next, optimization process has been done using ADAMS/Insight. Results show significant effects of roll center location on body roll angle, body roll rate and steering response. Also, the contradiction between body roll and steering response can be observed.

Stability investigation of hydraulic interconnected suspension system of a vehicle with a quaternion neural network controller

Using hydraulic interconnected suspension (HIS) system to improve the stability of the vehicles is a matter of recent interest of many scholars. In this paper, application of this kind of suspension system and its impact on the stability of the vehicle are studied. The governing dynamic relations of the system are presented, using free body diagram, Newton-Euler motion equations, and relations ...

Integrated Inerter Design and Application to Optimal Vehicle Suspension System

The formula cars need high tire grip on racing challenge by reducing rolling displacement at corner or double change lands. In this case study, the paper clarifies some issues related to suspension system with inerter to reduce displacement and rolling angle under impact from road disturbance on Formula SAE Car. We propose some new designs, which have an advance for suspension system by improvi...

A Novel Successive Approximation Method for Solving a Class of Optimal Control Problems

This paper presents a successive approximation method (SAM) for solving a large class of optimal control problems. The proposed analytical-approximate method, successively solves the Two-Point Boundary Value Problem (TPBVP), obtained from the Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP). The convergence of this method is proved and a control design algorithm with low computational complexity is present...

a benchmarking approach to optimal asset allocation for insurers and pension funds

uncertainty in the financial market will be driven by underlying brownian motions, while the assets are assumed to be general stochastic processes adapted to the filtration of the brownian motions. the goal of this study is to calculate the accumulated wealth in order to optimize the expected terminal value using a suitable utility function. this thesis introduced the lim-wong’s benchmark fun...
