Comfort, reliability, functionality performance which provide a longer life cycle requires thourogh understanding and analysis of the vibrations, this is a general rule for most of the static and dynamic when studying the functionality performance of any application. Vibrations is an extremely important issue to consider when designing various systems.The hysteresis in the dampers is very impor...

Semi-active control systems have been widely studied over the last 20 years. The range of applications includes automotive suspensions, seismic vibration mitigation, large bridges vibration control, knee prosthesis, among others. Semi-active actuators have a complex dynamics, and interaction between actuator and plant cannot be ignored in control design. This is specially true for magneto-rheol...

In this paper, we consider the implementation of a static H∞ output feedback controller to a quarter vehicle suspension system with a semi-active magnetorheological fluid (MRF) damper. Unlike most of the existing literature, all the states in the equation of motion are relative displacements and velocities between sprung, unsprung masses and road disturbance instead, in addition the input to th...

in this study, mass, stiffness and damping matrices of the nosrat jacket; located in persian gulf; equipped with semi active tuned mass damper (satmd) system have been derived after modeling the structure in sacs software. owing to huge number of the degrees of freedom in the model, computation of on-line control of satmd was time consuming. for this purpose, the size of the model was reduced i...

Transmission of vibrations into the cabin while driving and general comfort driver is essential for agricultural heavy-duty vehicles. Due to long working hours rough terrain during operation, reduced attention or health problems may occur when significant are transferred from vehicle chassis driver. One modern damping systems which can drastically minimise vibration transmission semi-active sus...

This paper is concerned with efficient integration of bilinear H∞ control and adaptive inverse control to attain vibration isolation of structure installed with a semi-active MR damper in which its damping force is controllable by input voltage. The structure with MR damper is expressed by a bilinear dynamic equation. The role of the bilinear H∞ controller is to provide the desired damping forc...

With the development of technology, new materials have been invented, which have been applied to improve the performance of structures. Recently, researchers pay their attention to controllable fluids and its applications. Magneto rheological (MR) damper is a kind of devices that uses rheological fluids to modify their mechanical properties. Their mechanical simplicity, large dynamic range, low...

increased competition on the automotive market has forced companies to research alternative strategies to classical passive suspension systems. In order to improve handling and comfort performance, instead of a conventional static spring and damper system, semi-active and active systems are being
