This study addresses the challenges of ride comfort improvement and in-wheel-motor vibration suppression in in-wheel-motor-driven electric vehicles. First, a mathematical model of a quarter vehicle equipped with a dynamic vibration absorber and an active suspension is developed. Then, a two-stage optimization control method is proposed to improve the coupled dynamic vibration absorber–suspension performance. In the first stage, a linear quadratic regulator controller based on particle swarm optimization is designed for the dynamic vibration absorber to suppress the in-wheel-motor vibration, in which the dynamic vibration absorber parameters and linear quadratic regulator controller weighting factors are optimally matched by using the particle swarm optimization algorithm. In the second stage, a finite-frequency H∞ controller is designed in the framework of linear matrix inequality optimization for the active suspension to improve vehicle ride comfort. Suspension performance factors, including suspension working space and road-holding ability, are taken as constraints in both stages. The proposed method simultaneously improves vehicle ride comfort and suppresses in-wheel-motor vibration. Finally, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method are illustrated through comparison simulations.

Abstract The design and optimization of a nonlinear dynamic vibration absorber based on a snap-through truss geometry is investigated. The effect of absorber's parameters on primary system (PS) vibration amplitude reduction and frequency range of operation is analyzed. Within parametric analyses of the absorber, a methodology was proposed to tune the absorber's stiffness. Results show that the nonlinear vibration absorber may be substantially more effective than its linear counterpart both in terms of vibration amplitude reduction and absorption frequency range. Possible difficulties and/or limitations caused by the nonlinearity induced by the absorber are analyzed and, for the studied case, do not diminish the advantages of the nonlinear absorber (NLAbs). The effect of absorber's damping on the vibration reduction performance was also analyzed indicating that the NLAbs outperforms its linear counterpart even for higher damping levels.

Tough, doubly cross-linked, single polymer network hydrogels with both chemical and physical cross-links display a high loss factor of the shear modulus over a broad frequency range. Physically, the high loss factor is resulting from the intensive adhesion–deadhesion activities of the physical cross-links. A high loss factor is frequently required by the optimization processes for optimal performance of a primary vibration system while adopting a dynamic vibration absorber, in particular while selecting a larger dynamic vibration absorber mass in order to avoid an excess displacement amplitude of the dynamic vibration absorber springs. The novel idea in this paper is to apply this tough polymer hydrogel as a dynamic vibration absorber spring material. To this end, a simulation model is developed while including a suitable constitutive viscoelastic material model for doubly cross-linked, single polymer network polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels with both chemical and physical cross-links. It is shown that the studied dynamic vibration absorber significantly reduces the vibrations of the primary vibration system while displaying a smooth frequency dependence over a broad frequency range, thus showing a distinguished potential for the tough hydrogels to serve as a trial material in the dynamic vibration absorbers in addition to their normal usage in tissue engineering.
