Suspension system is an important part of the car design, because it influences both the comfort and safety of the passengers. In this paper an active suspension using linear electric motor is designed. This article is also focused on experiments with active suspension – developing an appropriate input signal for the test bed and evaluation of the results. Second important aspect of the active ...

The main problem of vehicle vibration comes from road roughness. An active suspension systempossesses the ability to reduce acceleration of sprung mass continuously as well as to minimizesuspension deflection, which results in improvement of tire grip with the road surface. Thus, braketraction control and vehicle maneuverability can be improved consider ably .This study developeda new active su...

Abstract Background This paper proposes a method for designing passive suspension system that determines the optimal settings while offering feasible performance near an active system. A mathematical model of nonlinear quarter car is developed and simulated control optimization in MATLAB/Simulink ® environment. The input road condition Class C Road, vehicle moves at 80 kmph. Fuzzy logic (FLC) a...

In this article, a full-car prototype of the recently proposed mechatronic suspension, series active variable geometry suspension (SAVGS), is developed for on-road driving experimental proof concept, aiming to be adopted by original equipment manufacturers as an alternative solution fully suspensions. Particularly, mechanical modifications are performed both corners front double-wishbone produc...
