Damping Characteristics

The realization of the desired damping characteristics based on magnetorheological (MR) dampers is important for semi-active control and useful for the matching process of suspension damper. To reduce the cost of the control system and improve the output accuracy of the desired damping force, this study proposes an open-loop control method featuring an accurate inverse model of the MR damper and a tripolar current driver. The reversible sigmoid model is used to accurately and quickly calculate the desired current. Furthermore, the change characteristic of the desired current is analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively, which shows that the desired current needs to change suddenly to make the actual damping force velocity curve quickly approach the desired one. To meet the demand of the desired current, a tripolar current driver controlled by an improved PI control algorithm is proposed, which is with fast response and low noise. Finally, the bench test verifies that the control system can achieve different desired damping characteristics well, and the inherent error in this process is explained through the gap between the available damping force area and the desired damping characteristic curve and the crossover phenomenon of the dynamic characteristic curves of the MR damper.

The consistency of magnetic flux density of damping gap (CMDG) represents the balancing magnetic flux density in each damping gap of magnetorheological (MR) dampers. It can make influences on the performances of MR dampers and the accuracy of relevant objective functions. In order to improve the mechanical performances of the MR damper with a two-stage coil, the function for calculating CMDG needs to be found. By establishing an equivalent magnetic circuit model of the MR damper, the CMDG function is derived. Then, the multiobjective optimization function and the working flow of optimal design are presented by combining the parallel-plate model of the MR damper with the function posed before. Taking the damping force, the dynamic range, the response time, and the CMDG as the optimization objective, and the external geometric dimensions of the SG-MRD60 damper as the bound variable, this paper optimizes the internal geometric dimensions of MR damper by using a NSGA-III algorithm on the PlatEMO platform. The results show that the obtained scheme in Pareto-optimal solutions has existed with better performance than that of SG-MRD60 scheme. According to the results of the finite element analysis, the multiobjective optimization design including the CMDG function can improve the uniformity of magnetic flux density of the MR damper in damping gap, which meets the requirements of manufacture and application.

Semiactive Suspension

In hub-motor electric vehicles (HM-EVs), the unbalanced electromagnetic force generated by the HM will further deteriorate the dynamic performance of the electric vehicle. In this paper, a semiactive suspension control method is proposed for HM-EVs. A quarter HM-EV model with an electromechanical coupling effect is established.The model consists of three parts: a motor model, road excitation model and vehicle model. A hybrid model predictive controller (HMPC) is designed based on the developed model, taking into account the nonlinear constraints of damping force. The focus is on improving the vertical performance of the HM-EV. Then, a Kalman filter is designed to provide the required state variables for the controller. The proposed control algorithm and constrained optimal control (COC) algorithm are simulation compared under random road excitation and bump road excitation, and the results show that the proposed control algorithm can improve ride comfort, reduce motor vibration, and improve handling stability more substantially.

This paper proposed an extended constant deceleration (ECD) control method that can be used in the shock mitigation system with magnetorheological energy absorbers (MREAs). The ECD control method has three sections: zero controllable force (ZCF) section, constant deceleration (CD) section, and maximum damping force (MDF) section. Under the control of ECD, the system can stop at the end of MREA stroke without exceeding the maximum allowable deceleration. The ECD control algorithm is derived in a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system. The controllable velocity range and the required controllable damping force of ECD control method are also derived, which can provide feasible solutions for the design of shock isolation system with MREAs. The performance of ECD control method is shown by applying to the drop-induced shock mitigation system with different drop velocities, different maximum controllable damping force, and MREA stroke. The results shows that the ECD control method not only has a large controllable velocity range and small controllable damping force requirement, but also can minimize the load transmitted to the system.

Working Performance

To enhance working-performance robustness of suspension, a vehicle suspension with permanent-magnet magnetic-valve magnetorheological damper (PMMVMD) was studied. Firstly, mechanical structure of traditional magnetorheological damper (MD) used in vehicle suspensions was redesigned through introducing a permanent magnet and a magnetic valve. Based on theories of electromagnetics and Bingham model, prediction model of damping force was built. On this basis, two-degree-of-freedom vehicle suspension model was established. In addition, fruit fly optimization algorithm- (FOA-) line quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control algorithm suitable for PMMVMD suspensions was designed on the basis of developing normal FOA. Finally, comparison simulation experiments and bench tests were conducted by taking white noise and a sine wave as the road surface input and the results indicated that working performance of PMMVMD suspension based on FOA-LQG control algorithm was good.

Improved Performance

Conventional skyhook-based ON–OFF control switches the damping force on a vibration suppression target according to the sign of the product of the target and relative velocities (which is called the condition function). Here, we propose a control strategy that uses a novel condition function for improved performance. The proposed strategy is formulated based on the theory of forced vibration with base excitation. Its effect upon semi-active vibration performance is investigated via numerical simulations and experimental tests of the vibration suppression of a small structure equipped with a magnetorheological (MR) damper. In the simulations, the proposed control strategy can offer high-performance semi-active vibration suppression, even in the presence of force delays in the damper. The experiments show that the displacement response with the proposed control is lower than that with the conventional skyhook-based control over the entire frequency range; furthermore, the desired performance can be achieved when the proposed condition function is used with velocity-proportional control. The simplicity and high performance demonstrated by the proposed control strategy make it applicable to semi-active vibration suppression of practical systems, even in the presence of unavoidable force delays in controllable dampers.

The design, fabrication, and testing of a new double-piston MR damper for space applications are discussed. The design concept for the damper is described in detail. The electromagnetic analysis of the design and the fabrication of the MR damper are also presented. The design analysis shows that the damper meets the weight and size requirements for being included in a space truss structure. The prototype design is tested in a damper dynamometer. The test results show that the damper can provide nearly 80 N of damping force at its maximum velocity and current. The test results also show that the seal drag could contribute significantly to the damping forces. Additionally, the test results indicate that both the work by the damper and damping force increase rapidly with increasing current at lower currents and taper off at higher currents as the damper starts to saturate. The damper force versus velocity plots show hysteresis in both pre- and postyield regions and asymmetric forces in jounce and rebound. A model is proposed for representing the force-displacement, force-velocity, and asymmetric forces observed in test results. A comparison of the modeling results and test data indicates that the model accurately represents the force characteristics of the damper.
