A new vehicle active suspension with Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator (EHA) is suggested. The system consists of two parts: spring and actuator with variable control force. The actuator includes hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic pump, controller, etc. According to bond graph principle, bond graph model of EHA active suspension are built. For vehicle active suspension system, unavoidable time delay may appear in the controllable course. Time-delay influence on the dynamic performance of vehicle active suspension is analyzed. Physical prototype and experimental rig for EHA active suspension is built. Then the tests of suspension prototype with time-delay control are carried out on the developed test rig. The results show that the sprung mass acceleration of the active suspension with time-delay compensation significantly declines by 11.56% under the road input of 1.1Hz and by 12.8% under the road input of 1.5Hz

Actuator is a very important part of vehicle active control suspension. Based on the analyses of traditional passive suspension and active suspension system, a novel vehicle active suspension with Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator (EHA) is put forward. The system consists of two parts: spring and actuator with variable control force. The actuator includes hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic pump, controller, etc. According to bond graph principle, bond graph model of EHA active suspension are built. In addition, sky-hook controller and fuzzy logic controller are designed and sky-hook control and fuzzy control active suspension are simulated using MATLAB tools. The prototype and test rig of EHA active suspension are developed and bench tests are carried out. The simulation and experimental results show that sky-hook control and fuzzy control active suspension with EHA provide better ride comfort and stability than passive suspension system.

Actuator is the key to vehicle active suspension. Based on the analyses of traditional passive suspension and active suspension system, a novel vehicle active suspension with Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator (EHA) is put forward. The system consists of two parts: spring and actuator with variable control force. The actuator is made up of hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic pump, controller and BLDCM. According to bond graph principles, bond graph model of 2 DOF passive suspensions and bond graph model of EHA active suspension are built. Moreover, fuzzy logic controller is designed and fuzzy control active suspension is simulated using MATLAB tools. The prototype and test rig of EHA active suspension are developed and bench tests are carried out. The simulation and experimental results show that fuzzy control active suspension with EHA provides better ride comfort, handling and stability than passive suspension.

Actuator is a key factor for vehicle active suspension. A new vehicle active suspension is put forward based on the Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator (EHA).For vehicle active suspension system, unavoidable time delay may appear in the controllable course. The critical time-delay of EHA active suspension is calculated in this paper and time-delay influence on the dynamic performance of vehicle active suspension is analyzed. A time-delay compensation strategy for EHA active suspension is proposed to reduce time delay. A self-adapting fuzzy controller is designed and applied to active suspension system with EHA. Physical prototype and experimental rig for EHA active suspension are built. Then time-delay tests of suspension prototype are carried out on the developed test rig. Test results show that the sprung mass acceleration of the active suspension with time-delay compensation significantly declines by 12.4% under the road input of 1.2Hz and by 13.6% under the road input of 1.6Hz.

AbstractThis paper proposes a hybrid robust-adaptive learning-based control scheme based on Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) for the tracking control of autonomous ship maneuvering. We adopt a Time-Delay Control (TDC) approach, which is known as a simple, practical, model free and roughly robust strategy, combined with an Actor-Critic Approximate Dynamic Programming (ACADP) algorithm as an adaptive part in the proposed hybrid control algorithm. Based on this integration, Actor-Critic Time-Delay Control (AC-TDC) is proposed. It offers a high-performance robust-adaptive control approach for path following of autonomous ships under deterministic and stochastic disturbances induced by the winds, waves, and ocean currents. Computer simulations have been conducted under two different conditions in terms of the deterministic and stochastic disturbances and all simulation results indicate an acceptable performance in tracking of paths for the proposed control algorithm in comparison with the conventional TDC approach.
