A method for parameter identification of the magnetorheological damper (MRD) model with an improved firefly algorithm (IFA) is proposed, and a semi-active seat control system three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) established by combining quarter car to investigate ride comfort. The dynamic characteristics MRD were analyzed experimental method. Combined IFA, parameters phenomenon identified, forward M...

In this paper, a hybrid particle swarm optimization genetic algorithm LQR controller is used on quarter car model with an active suspension system. The proposed control utilized to overcome the shortcoming that weight matrix Q and R determined by experience in traditional method. method makes it possible achieve optimal effect. A full-order state observer observe of suspension. road input are p...

Electric wheelchair is one of the equipment to be used by the incapacitated and disable people. Constant exposure to vibration affects human comfort and health. Reducing the vibrations transmitted to the human body is important in the electric wheelchair design and becomes a healthcare industry demand. This paper deals with the study on vibration control of the electric wheelchair suspension sy...

In order to reduce vehicle vibration during driving conditions, a fuzzy sliding mode control strategy (FSMC) for semi-active air suspension based on the magnetorheological (MR) damper is proposed. The MR used in system was tested and analyzed. Based experimental data, genetic algorithm identify parameters of improved hyperbolic tangent model, which derived damper. At same time, an adaptive neur...

The paper deals with the high-fidelity modeling and simulation of a powered parafoil-payload system with respect to its application in autonomous precision airborne cargo delivery. In the proposed concept the cargo transfer is accomplished in two phases: Initial towing phase when the glider follows the towing vessel in a passive lift mode and the autonomous gliding phase when the system is guid...

A method of active vibration control using regenerated vibration energy, i.e., the self-powered active vibration control is proposed. In this system, vibration energy is regenerated with an electric generator ,which is called energy regenerative damper, and is stored in a condenser. An actuator attains active vibration control using the energy stored in the condenser. A variable resistance is u...

This paper presents the design and analysis of a new adaptive fuzzy (AF) logic and hybrid (skyhook plus groundhook) control technique applied to a semi-active suspension system of a quarter car mode. The hybrid control is applied because of its very good performance in ride comfort and road handling. Meanwhile, Fuzzy adaptive system is suitable for analysis of stability with non-linear performa...

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.
