Automotive engineering is a very important branch of design and development in mechanical devoted to vehicle manufacturing. It demands solid knowledge focusing on the kinematics dynamics systems, either using structural analysis or modelling techniques. In this manuscript, model based application fundamentals static dynamic behaviour suspension system bus developed. Therefore, set mathematical ...

The basic ability of a vehicle is to “run”, “turn” and “stop”. The safeness and comfort during a drive on various road surfaces and speed depends on the performance of these basic abilities of the vehicle. Stability and maneuverability of a vehicle are vital in automotive engineering. The stability of a vehicle is the ability of the vehicle to revert back to a stable state during a drive when f...

This paper introduces a theoretical investigation of active vehicle suspension system using sliding mode control (SMC) algorithm to enhance the ride comfort and vehicle stability under parameters uncertainty. SMC algorithm is a nonlinear control technique that regulates the dynamics of linear and nonlinear systems using a discontinuous control signal. The proposed control algorithm forces the s...

Original scientific paper In order to improve conceptual phase of vehicle development, this research is focused on development of new multi-objective optimization model for determining the optimal parameters of the suspension system. In this research emphasis is on the development of suspension system from the viewpoint of full vehicle dynamics behaviour. The new optimization model consists of ...

This chapter presents a successful implementation of PID controller for a pneumatically actuated active roll control suspension system in both simulation and experimental studies. For the simulation model, a full vehicle model which consists of ride, handling and tire subsystems to study vehicle dynamics behavior in lateral direction is derived. The full vehicle model is then validated experime...

An auto rickshaw is a three wheeled motor vehicle with one front steering wheel. Auto rickshaws are most commonly found in developing countries as they are a very cheap form of transportation due to low price, low maintenance cost, and low operation costs. Auto rickshaws needs to be developed to take the step into the 21-century. To develop a new product in the modern world one of the most impo...

An optimal Fractional Order PI λ D μ (FOPID) controller is designed for a full vehicle nonlinear active suspension system. The optimal values of FOPID controller parameters for minimizing the cost function are tuned using an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA), which offers an optimal solution to a multidimensional rough objective function. The fitness parameters of FOPID controller (proportional const...

This paper presents an optimal vehicle and seat suspension design for a half-car vehicle model to reduce human-body vibration (whole-body vibration). A genetic algorithm is applied to search for the optimal parameters of the seat and vehicle suspension. The desired objective is proposed as the minimization of a multi-objective function formed by the combination of seat suspension working space ...
