This paper discusses the identification of nonlinear black-box simulation models for a continuously variable, semi-active damper for a passenger car. Two model classes are considered and compared. While both classes have an output error model structure, the first class applies a polynomial approximation function and the second uses a neural network. The identification procedure automatically se...

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...

In this paper, a semi-active nonlinear artificial intelligence compound controller for marine engines was developed to improve vibration reduction characteristics across wide frequency range. A mathematical model and investigated two-stage isolation systems (Virgin IslandsS) considering vertical, roll, pitch motion. The passive of the magnetorheological damper also integrated with VIS. numerica...

In this paper the importance of self tuning adaptive PID control scheme for automotive suspension system is explained. The objective of this study is to obtain a mathematical model for the passive and semi-active suspension system for quarter car model. Current automobile suspension system employs springs and damper with fixed coefficient. Vehicle suspension systems are typically rated by their...

In order to address the problem that traditional passive suspension damping parameter cannot be adjusted which makes it difficult to improve vehicle ride comfort and handling stability, the paper proposes use of controllable magneto-rheological dampers in replace of passive dampers to establish semi-active suspension based on magneto-rheological dampers. By designing magneto-rheological damper ...
