In this paper the optimal control and parameters design of fractional-order vehicle suspension system are researched, where the system is described by fractional-order differential equation. The linear quadratic optimal state regulator is designed based on optimal control theory, which is applied to get the optimal control force of the active fractional-order suspension system. A stiffness-damping system is added to the passive fractional-order suspension system. Based on the criteria, i.e. the force arising from the accessional stiffness-damping system should be as close as possible to the optimal control force of the active fractional-order suspension system, the parameters of the optimized passive fractional-order suspension system are obtained by least square algorithm. An Oustaloup filter algorithm is adopted to simulate the fractional-order derivatives. Then, the simulation models of the three kinds of fractional-order suspension systems are developed respectively. The simulation results indicate that the active and optimized passive fractional-order suspension systems both reduce the value of vehicle body vertical acceleration and improve the ride comfort compared with the passive fractional-order suspension system, whenever the vehicle is running on a sinusoidal surface or random surface.

Abstract In this paper, a fractional order fuzzy proportional-integral plus differential (FOFPI+D) controller is presented for nonlinear vehicle semi-active suspension system (SAS). The control goal is to meliorate the ride quality level by minimizing the root mean square of vehicle body vertical acceleration (RMSVBVA) and maintaining suspension travel. The FOFPI+D controller is realized using non-integer differentiator operator in fuzzy proportional integral (FPI) controller plus the derivative (D) action with additional fractional differentiator. A dynamical model of four degrees–of–freedom vehicle suspension system incorporating magnetorheological dampers (MRD’s) is derived and simulated using Matlab/Simulink software. The performance of the semi-active suspension system using FOFPI+D controller is compared to MR-passive suspension system. The simulation results prove that semi-active suspension system controlled using FOFPI+D outperform and offer better comfort ride under road profiles such as random and bump.

In this paper, the mechanical model of two-degree-of-freedom vehicle semi-active suspension system based on time-delayed feedback control with vertical acceleration of the vehicle body was studied. With frequency-domain analysis method, the optimization of time-delayed feedback control parameters of vehicle suspension system in effective frequency band was studied, and a set of optimization method of time-delayed feedback control parameters based on “equivalent harmonic excitation” was proposed. The time-domain simulation results of vehicle suspension system show that compared with the passive control, the time-delayed feedback control based on the vertical acceleration of the vehicle body under the optimal time-delayed feedback control effectively broadens the vibration absorption bandwidth of the vehicle suspension system. The ride comfort and stability of the vehicle under random road excitation are significantly improved, which provides a theoretical basis for the selection of time-delayed feedback control strategy and the optimal design of time-delayed feedback control parameters of vehicle suspension system.

Vehicle Suspension System

The value of a self-tuning adaptive semi-active control scheme for automotive suspension systems is discussed in this paper. The current vehicle suspension system uses fixed-coeffcient springs and dampers. The ability of vehicle suspension systems to provide good road handling and improve passenger comfort is usually valued. Passive suspension allows you to choose between these two options. Semi-Active suspension(SAS), on the other hand, can provide both road handling and comfort by manipulating the suspension force actuators directly. The semi-active suspension system for a quarter car model is compared to passive and various controllers such as Proportional-Integral, Proportional-Integral-Derivative, Internal model control (IMC)-PID, IMC-PID with filter, FUZZY, and Adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system(ANFIS) in this analysis. This research could be relevant in the future for designing better car suspension adjustments to eliminate vertical jerks and rolling motion experienced by the vehicle body on bumps and humps.

Suspension Performance

In recent studies, a new class of planar and spatial linkage mechanisms was presented in which for a continuous full rotation or continuous rocking motion of the input link, the output link undergoes two continuous rocking motions. Such linkage mechanisms were referred to as the “motion-doubling” linkage mechanisms. This class of mechanisms was also shown to generally have dynamics advantage over regular mechanisms designed to achieve similar gross output motions. In the present study, the use of the motion-doubling linkage mechanisms in the construction of vehicle suspension systems is investigated. The performance of the resulting vehicle suspension system is compared to that of a suspension system regularly used in vehicles. For a typical set of vehicle and tire parameters, the parameters of both suspension systems are optimally determined with a commonly used objective function, which is defined as the standard deviation of the vertical acceleration of the vehicle. Using numerical simulation, it is shown that the suspension system constructed with a motion-doubling linkage mechanism has a significantly better performance as compared to a standard suspension system.

Active Suspension Systems

Vehicles with active suspension systems become more ride comfort and maneuverable stability, many types of active suspensions have been applied to passenger vehicles, but one of the shortcomings of an active susupension system is that the additional control power consumption is needed. The core issues of designing an active suspension system are to minimiaze vibration magnitute and control energy comsuption of the active suspension system. A new mathematic model for an active suspension system is established based on vehicle dynamics and modern control theory. An optimal control law is constructed through solving the Riccati equation, and then the transfer function is deduced to describe the relationship between the vetical velosity of the road roughness and the output of suspension system. Three typical parameters of vehicle ride comfort are researched, such as vertical acceleration of vehicle body, dynamic deflection of suspension system and dynamic deformation of tires. A case of a quarter vehicle model is studied by simulation to show that the proposed method of modeling and designing optimal controller are suitable to develop active suspension systems.

The vehicle active suspension system is a multi-objective control system with the input constraint. In this paper, a new effective method is proposed for constrained optimal control of a vehicle suspension system including nonlinear characteristics for elasto-damping elements. In the proposed method, an equivalent constrained optimization problem is firstly formulated by performing a performance index which is defined as a weighted combination of predicted responses of nonlinear suspension system and control signal. Then, the constrained optimization problem is analytically solved by the Kerush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) theorem to find the control law. The proposed constrained controller is compared with the unconstrained optimal controller for which the limitation of control force is satisfied by regulation of its weighting factor in the performance index. Simulation studies are conducted to show the effectiveness of two controllers. The results indicate that the constrained controller utilizes the maximum capacity of external forces and consequently attains a better performance in the presence of force limitations.

Background: Vehicles generally travel on different road conditions, and withstand strong shock and vibration. In order to reduce or isolate the strong shock and vibration, it is necessary to propose and develop a high-performance vehicle suspension system. Objective: This study aims to report a pneumatic artificial muscle bionic kangaroo leg suspension to improve the comfort performance of vehicle suspension system. Methods: In summarizing the existing vehicle suspension systems and analyzing their advantages and disadvantages, this paper introduces a new patent of vehicle suspension system based on the excellent damping and buffering performance of kangaroo leg, A Pneumatic Artificial Muscle Bionic Kangaroo Leg Suspension. According to the biomimetic principle, the pneumatic artificial muscles bionic kangaroo leg suspension with equal bone ratio is constructed on the basis of the kangaroo leg crural index, and two working modes (passive and active modes) are designed for the suspension. Moreover, the working principle of the suspension system is introduced, and the rod system equations for the suspension structure are built up. The characteristic simulation model of this bionic suspension is established in Adams, and the vertical performance is analysed. Results: It is found that the largest deformation happens in the bionic heel spring and the largest angle change occurs in the bionic ankle joint under impulse road excitation, which is similar to the dynamic characteristics of kangaroo leg. Furthermore, the dynamic displacement and the acceleration of the vehicle body are both sharply reduced. Conclusion: The simulation results show that the comfort performance of this bionic suspension is excellent under the impulse road excitation, which indicates the bionic suspension structure is feasible and reasonable to be applied to vehicle suspensions.

A two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear vibration system of a quarter vehicle suspension system is studied by using the feedback control method considered the fractional-order derivative damping. The nonlinear dynamic model of two-degree-of-freedom vehicle suspension system is built and linear velocity and displacement controllers are used to control the nonlinear vibration of the vehicle suspension system. A case of the 1:1 internal resonance is considered. The amplitude–frequency response is obtained with the multiscale method. The asymptotic stability conditions of the nonlinear system can be gotten by using the Routh–Hurwitz criterion and the ranges of control parameters are gained in the condition of stable solutions to the system. The simulation results show that the feedback control can effectively reduce the amplitude of primary resonance, weaken or even eliminate the nonlinear vibration characteristics of the suspension system. Fractional orders have an impact on control performance, which should be considered in the control problem. The study will provide a theoretical basis and reference for the optimal design of the vehicle suspension system.
