This article proposes an integrated sliding mode control–two-point wheelbase preview strategy for semi-active air suspension system with gas-filled adjustable shock absorber. First of all, a vehicle suspension model with rolling lobe air spring and gas-filled adjustable shock absorber is built, following with a road input model for the front wheel. By describing the detailed structure and working process of the gas-filled adjustable shock absorber, the regulating mechanism between the stepper motor and the designed gas-filled adjustable shock absorber is established. Subsequently, the sliding mode control algorithm is applied to generate the desired damping force with the real-time state of the vehicle. Moreover, to predetermine the road profile for the rear wheel, a two-point wheelbase preview approach is proposed and its superiority is also illustrated as compared with the conventional single-point wheelbase preview approach. To evaluate the performance of the proposed system, numerical analysis is conducted with other three comparative schemes, namely, passive suspension system, active suspension system with H infinity control, and sliding mode control–controlled semi-active air suspension system with adjustable shock absorber. Simulation results show that the integrated sliding mode control–two-point wheelbase preview strategy can be successfully utilized in the semi-active air suspension system with stepper motor-driven gas-filled adjustable shock absorber, and the vehicle performance with the proposed system can be greatly improved.

Mechanical Elastic Wheel

For the purpose of anti-puncture and lightweight, a new type of mechanical elastic wheel (MEW) is constructed. However, the large radial stiffness of MEW has a negative effect on ride comfort. To make up for the disadvantage, this paper proposes a novel control strategy consisting of backstepping control and integral sliding-mode control, considering the uncertainties of active suspension and MEW. First, an active suspension system matching MEW is established, discussing the impact of uncertainties. The nonlinear radial characteristic of MEW is fitted based on the previous experiment results. Then, in order to derive ideal motions, an ideal suspension system combining sky-hook and ground-hook damping control is introduced. Next, ignoring the nonlinear characteristics and external random disturbance, a backstepping controller is designed to track ideal variables. Combined with the backstepping control law, an integral sliding-mode control strategy is given, further taking parameter uncertainty and external disturbance into account. To tackle chattering problem, an adaptive state variable matrix is applied. By using Lyapunov stability theory, the whole scheme proves to be robust and convergent. Finally, co-simulations with Carsim and MATLAB/Simulink are carried out. By analyzing the simulation results, it can be concluded that the vehicle adopting backstepping sliding-mode control performs best, with excellent real-time performance and robustness.

The Impact

Based on a nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom model of active suspension systems, an approach of the sliding mode control with disturbance observer combining skyhook model sliding mode control with disturbance observer combining is proposed for improving the performance of active suspension systems, and the effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated by the active suspension system plant. Two problems of active suspension systems are solved by using the proposed approach when the tire is excited by the step displacement. One problem is that the suspension deflection of active suspension systems, i.e. the difference between the sprung mass displacement and the unsprung mass displacement, using conventional sliding mode control with disturbance observer not converges to zero in finite time, and the phenomenon of the impact of suspension against the limit block is produced. This problem is solved by providing a reference value of the sprung mass displacement in an active suspension system, which is obtained from the skyhook model. The other problem is that disturbances exist in active suspension systems, which are caused by the inaccurate parameters of stiffness and damping. This problem is solved by designing a disturbance observer to estimate the summation of the disturbances. Finally, the performance indexes of the active suspension system with the sliding mode control with disturbance observer combining skyhook model are calculated and compared with those of using the conventional sliding mode control with disturbance observer and the linear quadratic regulator approach.

This paper addresses the problem of control of an active suspension system accomplished using a computer. Delay in the states due to the acquisition and transmission of data from sensors to the controller is taken into account. The proposed control strategy uses state predictors along with sliding mode control technique. Two approaches are made: a continuous-time and a discrete-time control. The proposed designs, continuous-time and discrete-time, are applied to the active suspension module simulator from Quanser. Results from computer simulations and experimental tests are analyzed to show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
