This paper uses a quarter model of an automobile having passive and semiactive suspension systems to develop a scheme for an optimal suspension controller. Semi-active suspension is preferred over passive and active suspensions with regard to optimum performance within the constraints of weight and operational cost. A fuzzy logic controller is incorporated into the semi-active suspension system...

Suspension systems have been widely applied to vehicles, right from the horse-drawn carriage with flexible leaf springs fixed at the four corners, to the modern automobile with complex control algorithms. Every vehicle moving on the randomly profiled road is exposed to vibration which is harmful both for the passengers in terms of comfort and for the durability of the vehicle itself. Different ...

Automobile wheels are an essential and important part of any automobile from their invention to today they have taken on various designs changes, structures, styles. Main function is carry the overall weight vehicle, resist forces & stresses created during driving transmit torque achieve required speed while driving. Wheels must well strength stiffness having durable design withstand runnin...

To improve the handling stability of automobiles and reduce odds rollover, active or semi-active suspension systems are usually used to control roll a vehicle. However, these kinds often take zero-roll-angle as target have limited effect on improving performance vehicle when turning. Tilt control, which actively controls tilt inward during curve, greatly benefits comprehensive it is cornering. ...
