A nonlinear four-wheel dynamics vehicle model which includes a limit-slip differential model based on FSAE racecar is established and the typical conditions are designed according to track requirement. The effect of different locking ratio on vehicle handling stability has been researched .The simulation results shows that: with the increase of locking ratio, the steering radius ratio increase, both peak lateral acceleration and yaw angular velocity reduce, and the changing trend of value is flat. But the average acceleration increase with the locking ratio until the latter reach a specific value under the condition of Slaloms.

Vibration Transmissibility

To reduce the natural frequency of air isolators and realize low or ultra-low frequency air/magnetic composite vibration isolation with large payloads, a magnetically repulsive negative stiffness permanent magnetic array (MRNSPMA) is proposed. Specifically, we utilize cuboidal permanent magnets to form a spatial array that is mechanically repulsive in the horizontal direction and structurally parallel in the vertical direction. The superiority of MRNSPMA in achieving high amplitude negative stiffness is verified. Furthermore, the effects of structural parameters on vibration transmissibility under the base and force excitations are investigated with the introduction of MRNSPMA. The displacement transmissibility, the force transmissibility and the frequency corresponding to the peak transmissibility are significantly reduced, validating the promise of MRNSPMA for improving the isolation performance of cutting-edge scientific experimental systems and facilities.

The Impact

Because Tire not only impact on the handling stability of vehicle but also impact on the ride comfort, it is more practical significant that tire vertical stiffness parameters on handling stability and ride of vehicle impact is considered synthetically than considering handling stability and ride singly. In this paper, full vehicle model was built on the basis of ADAMS/Car. The vertical stiffness of tire was only changed and other parameters remain unchanged, then full vehicle analysis was carried out to get the simulation curves. The impact of the vertical stiffness of tires on the handling and stability and ride comfort was obtained from the curves of simulation. The tires of optimized vertical stiffness can be obtained from the comparison of simulation results. Analytical results can be conductive to designing and producing the tire.

The “inerter-spring-damper” (ISD) suspension system is a suspension system composed of an inerter, spring, and damper. To study the ride comfort and stability of the vehicle by using the ISD suspension system, a vehicle model with ISD suspension is established in this paper. The vehicle model including vertical, pitch, roll, and yaw motion of the vehicle body. Based on the vehicle model, the differential equation of motion with ISD suspension is obtained. The dynamic responses of the ISD suspension system are investigated by using different road excitations. At the same time, the influence of coupled excitation and single excitation on the vibration reduction performance of the ISD suspension system is studied. Then, the dynamic responses of ISD suspension and passive suspension are compared, and the improvement of comprehensive vibration reduction performance of ISD suspension system is quantitatively analyzed. The numerical results illustrate the ISD suspension has the optimal vehicle speed under different road excitations, and the comprehensive vibration reduction performance of the ISD suspension is the best when driving at the optimal vehicle speed. Under different types of road excitation, ISD suspension shows excellent comprehensive vibration reduction performance. ISD suspension is more suitable for vibration reduction of complex roads than that of a single road.

Flexible ring tire models are widely used for vehicle durability and ride comfort analysis. In our previous research, a novel 3D flexible ring tire model was proposed, and the model’s parameter identification and predictability were illustrated based on various tire cleat tests. To further demonstrate its capability, this paper applies the tire model in a full-vehicle model for various full vehicle bump tests with different driving speeds and cleat orientations in Matlab programing. The tire model and the full-vehicle model are connected through a suspension system, with the suspension spring and damper along the vertical direction, and rigid attachment along the longitudinal and lateral directions. The predicted results are compared against ADAMS® full-vehicle FTire virtual tests with the same simulation conditions. The comparison variables include tire forces, vertical displacements, and suspension jounce movements. The results provide useful guidance for the design of vehicle suspension.

The use of suspension preview information obtained from a quarter vehicle model (QvM) to control an active seat has been shown by the authors to be very promising, in terms of improved ride comfort. However, in reality, a road vehicle will be subjected to disturbances from all four wheels, and therefore the concept of preview enhanced control should be applied to a full vehicle model. In this paper, different preview scenarios are examined, in which suspension data is taken from all or limited axles. Accordingly, three control strategies are hypothesized—namely, front-left suspension (FLS), front axle (FA), and four wheel (4W). The former utilises suspension displacement and velocity preview information from the vehicle suspension nearest to the driver’s seat. The FA uses similar preview information, but from both the front-left and front-right suspensions. The 4W controller employs similar preview information from all of the vehicle suspensions. To cope with friction non-linearities, as well as constraints on the active actuator displacement and force capabilities, three optimal fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) are developed. The structure of each FLC, including membership functions, scaling factors, and rule base, was sequentially optimised based on improving the seat effective amplitude transmissibility (SEAT) factor in the vertical direction, using the particle swarming optimisation (PSO) algorithm. These strategies were evaluated in simulation according to ISO 2631-1, using different road disturbances at a range of vehicle forward speeds. The results show that the proposed controllers are very effective in attenuating the vertical acceleration at the driver’s seat, when compared with a passive system. The controller that utilised suspension preview information from all four corners of the car provided the best seat isolation performance, independent of vehicle speed. Finally, to reduce the implementation cost of the “four suspension” controller, a practical alternative is developed that requires less measured preview information.

The Stability

With the improvement of performance in the ultra-precision manufacturing engineering, the requirements for vibration isolation have become increasingly stringent. In order to get wider effective bandwidth and higher performance of vibration isolation in multiple DOFs system, an ultra-low frequency two DOFs’ vibration isolator with positive and negative stiffness in parallel (PNSP) is proposed. The two DOFs’ isolator which combines a positive stiffness (PS) air spring with a negative stiffness (NS) magnetic spring in parallel and combines a PS flat spring with an NS inverted pendulum in parallel is designed to reduce the natural frequency and broaden the effective bandwidth in horizontal and vertical direction. Based on this structure, stiffness models of different components in different directions are established. Compared with a PS isolator, it possesses the characteristic of high-static-low-dynamic stiffness. The simulation curves also provide strong evidence. Last, a real-time active control system and a spectrum testing and analysis system are used for the contrast experiment between the mentioned PNSP structure and PS only. The experimental results demonstrate that the isolator with PNSP can obviously reduce the natural frequency to 1 Hz and simultaneously maintain the stability of the system and consequently verify the validity and superiority of the mentioned structure.
