“Functional integration” is to integrate two or multiple systems or mechanisms that are independent with each other and to realize the two or multiple functions using only one actuation system. Maximization of engineering applications of actuation systems could be achieved through the use of the “functional integration” concept-based structural design. In this article, an integrated semi-active seat suspension, mainly composed of a switching mechanism, a transmission amplification mechanism, and a damping force- or torque-controllable rotary magnetorheological (MR) damper working in pure shear mode, for both longitudinal and vertical vibration attenuation, is proposed, designed, and fabricated. The switching mechanism employs the parallelogram frames as a motion guide which keeps the seat moving longitudinally and vertically. Both longitudinal and vertical motions are transformed into a reciprocating rotary motion that is transmitted to the rotary MR damper after an amplification by a gear mechanism. The torque generated by the MR damper can be tuned by adapting the applied current in real time, and hence, effective two-dimensional vibration control of the seat could be realized. The mathematical model of the semi-active seat suspension system is established, and vibration isolation performance of the system is simulated and analyzed. Based on the established experimental test rig, the prototype of the semi-active seat suspension system is tested, and the results of the mathematical model and the experimental test are compared.

The combination of dynamic vibration absorber and partial state feedback with time-delay is called delayed resonator. In order to suppress the seat vibration caused by uneven road surface and improve ride comfort, the delayed resonator is applied to the seat suspension to realize active control of the seat suspension system. The dynamic model of the half-vehicle suspension system is established, and the time-delay differential equation of the system under external excitation is solved by the precise integration method. The root mean square of the time-domain vibration response of seat displacement, seat acceleration and vehicle acceleration are selected as the objective function. Then, the optimal time-delay control parameters are obtained by particle swarm optimization algorithm. The frequency sweeping method is used to obtain the critical time-delay value and time-delay stable interval of the system. Finally, an active seat suspension model with delayed resonator is established for numerical simulation. The results show that the delayed resonator can greatly suppress the seat vibration response regardless of the road simple harmonic excitation or random excitation. Compared with dynamic vibration absorber, it has a better vibration absorption effect and a wider vibration reduction frequency band.

Abstract The paper deals with the modelling of a passenger car seat suspension system. Currently, vehicle safety and ride comfort are one of the most important factors of vehicle design. This article analyses a mathematical model of the passenger car seat suspension system. Furthermore, experimental measurements of the passenger car seat suspension system are performed. Utilizing the experimental data, model parameters are identified. From the chosen mathematical model a simulation model in constructed in Matlab is designed. In this simulation, the force-velocity and force-displacement characteristics of the passenger car seat suspension system are described. Finally, evaluation of simulated damper characteristics with the characteristics form measured data are performed.

The content of this work is the presentation of the prototype of a new active suspension system with an active air spring. As being part of the Collaborative Research Unit SFB805 “Control of Uncertainties in Load-Carrying Structures in Mechanical Engineering”, founded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG, the presented active air suspension strut is the first result of the attempt to implement the following requirements to an active suspension system: Harshness and wear: Reduced coulomb friction, i.e. no dynamic seal. Plug and drive solution: Connected to the electrical power infrastructure of the vehicle. Vehicle and customer application by software and not by hardware adaption. These requirements were defined at the very beginning of the project to address uncertainties in the life cycle of the product and the market needs. The basic concept of the active air spring is the dynamic alteration of the so-called effective area. This effective area is the load carrying area A of a roller bellow and defined by A:=F/(p-pa). F denotes the resulting force of the strut, p the absolute gas pressure and pa the ambient pressure. The alteration of this effective area is realized by a mechanical power transmission, from a rotational movement to four radial translated piston segments. Due to the radial movement of the piston segments, the effective area A increases and so does finally the axial compression force F. The prototype presented in this paper serves as a demonstrator to proof the concept of the shiftable piston segments. This prototype is designed to gather information about the static and dynamic behavior of the roller bellows. Measurements show the feasibility of the concept and the interrelationship between the piston diameter and the resulting spring force.

In order to improve the driver confortness, the 5-DOF analysis mathematical car model with the active seat air-spring suspension system was built. Based on the linear stochastic optimal control theory (LQG), the signal of road’s input as excitation source was used to design the optimal law of this seat active control system. MATLAB simulation programming language was applicated for the response simulation. The results show that the control strategy on the road excitation system has a good applicability on controlling the vibration of the driver’s seat and active seat suspension can more effectively reduce the driver’s vertical vibration acceleration than passive seat suspension.

Laterally interconnected air suspension combines the right and left air springs with pneumatic pipes, which can protect the auto-body parts from fatigue damage and increase the service life of vehicles. The mathematical model of full vehicle with laterally interconnected air suspension was established based on the analysis of its working principle, and a test bench was built. The simulation and experimental results show that, laterally interconnected air suspension can reduce the peak of dynamic body torsion load effectively, especially for steady state conditions, in which the body torsion load caused by the spring force can be nearly eliminated.

In any economy there is a need for the bulky goods transportation which cannot be divided into smaller parts. Such cargoes include building structures, elements of industrial equipment, tracked or wheeled construction and agricultural machinery, heavy armored military vehicles. In any case, tractor-semitrailer should provide fast delivery of goods with minimal fuel consumption. In order to guarantee the goods delivery, tractor-semitrailers must be able to overcome the existing roads broken grade and be capable to tow a semi-trailer in off-road conditions. These properties are especially important for military equipment transportation. The important factor that determines a tractor-semitrailer mobility is its gradeability. The purpose of this work is to improve a tractor-semitrailer mobility with tractor units manufactured at PJSC “AutoKrAZ” by increasing the tractor-semitrailer gradeability. The customer requirements for a new tractor are determined by the maximizing the grade to 18°. The analysis of the characteristics of modern tractor-semitrailers for heavy haulage has shown that the highest rate of this grade is 16.7°. The factors determining the limiting gradeability value were analyzed, based on the tractor-semitrailer with a KrAZ-6510TE tractor and a semi-trailer with a full weight of 80 t. It has been developed a mathematical model to investigate the tractor and semi-trailer axles vertical reactions distribution on the tractor-semitrailer friction performances. The mathematical model has allowed to calculate the gradeability value that the tractor-semitrailer can overcome in case of wheels and road surface friction value and the tractive force magnitude from the engine. The mathematical model adequacy was confirmed by comparing the calculations results with the data of factory tests. The analysis showed that on a dry road the KrAZ-6510TE tractor with a 80 t gross weight semitrailer is capable to climb a gradient of 14,35 ° with its coupling mass full use condition. The engine's maximum torque allows the tractor-semitrailer to overcome a gradient of 10.45° It has been determined the ways to improve the design of the KrAZ-6510TE tractor to increase its gradeability. Keywords: tractor, tractor-semitrailer vehicle mobility, tractor-semitrailer vehicle gradeability.
