Inerter, a new type of mass element, can increase the inertia of motion between two endpoints. In order to study the dynamic inertia effect of inerter–spring–damper suspension for heavy vehicle on ride comfort and road friendliness, the inerter–spring–damper suspension is applied and its mechanism is studied. This paper establishes a half vehicle model of inerter–spring–damper suspension for heavy vehicle. The parameters of inerter–spring–damper suspension for heavy vehicle are optimized by multi-objective genetic algorithm and system simulations are carried out. The parametric influence of different spring stiffness, damping coefficient, inertance, and load on suspension performance is also studied. The simulation results demonstrate that the centroid acceleration and pitch angular acceleration are improved by 24.90% and 23.54%, respectively, and the comprehensive road damage coefficient is reduced by 4.05%. The results illustrate that the inerter–spring–damper suspension can decrease the vertical vibration of vehicle suspension especially in low frequency and reduce the road damage. The analyses of suspension parameters perturbation reveal their different effect laws of the different wheels on vehicle ride comfort and road friendliness, which provide a theoretical basis for setting parameters of inerter–spring–damper suspension.

To attenuate the low-frequency vibration transmitted to the driver, a nonlinear seat suspension with high-static-low-dynamic stiffness is designed. First, the force and stiffness characteristics are derived. The nonlinear suspension can achieve the quasi-zero stiffness at the static equilibrium position when the structural parameters are properly designed. Then, a car-seat-human coupled model which consists of a quarter car model, a seat suspension, and a 4 degree-of-freedom human model is established to predict the biodynamic response of the driver. Finally, the isolation performance of the high-static-low-dynamic stiffness seat suspension under two typical road excitations is evaluated separately based on the numerical method. The effects of stiffness ratio, damping ratio, and vehicle speed on the ride comfort are investigated. The results showed that the nonlinear seat suspension outperforms the equivalent linear counterpart and can achieve the best ride comfort when the quasi-zero stiffness condition is satisfied.

For the worn state of the wheel, metro vehicles often suffer a serious carbody swaying issue, which causes the lateral stability of the vehicle to exceed the limit and affects the ride comfort. An experimental test was carried out on this investigation to study the carbody swaying of the metro vehicle. The field results show that the vehicle system vibrates at around 2.5 Hz in the lateral direction, which leads to the low-frequency swaying on the carbody. In order to explore the formation mechanism of the carbody low-frequency swaying and its relationship with the geometry matching of wheel-rail contact, measured rail and wheel profiles are employed to present a comparative analysis with respect to the initial contact geometry. A multibody dynamic railway vehicle system is established further. Time-domain simulations state that the 2.5 Hz vibration on the carbody belongs to the natural frequency of the vehicle, and the amplitude is larger for the measured wheels than that of the standard wheel profiles. By using the root-locus method, it can be determined that the 2.5 Hz vibration corresponds to the upper swaying mode of the carbody. With the increase in the wheel-rail equivalent conicity, the hunting frequency of bogie increases gradually, which converts frequency with the upper swaying frequency of carbody and leads to carbody low-frequency swaying.

This paper is concerned with the conflicting performances of ride comfort and driving safety for semi-active suspension systems. To alleviate this conflict, a novel hybrid damping extension control (HDEC) method is proposed. This method adopts various control methods and the weights of each method are determined by extension theory. Firstly, body acceleration and tire dynamic transformation are selected to evaluate ride comfort and driving safety performance for the semi-active suspension system and their frequency responses of passive suspension, sky-hook control, ground hook control, and S-GH (sky-ground hook) control are analyzed based on a two degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) model. Secondly, extension theory is introduced and the extension control system, which contains three modes and corresponding control algorithms, is established. In addition, the low-frequency excitation and high-frequency excitation simulations are designed to determine the parameters of the extension control system. Finally, ve-DYNA vehicle suspension model simulation is applied to prove the feasibility and effectiveness of the extension control. The simulation results show that, based on the suspension state, extension control can improve the performance of ride comfort and driving safety.

Ride comfort is one of the main using performance items and competitiveness index of the automobile. This paper carries out shock absorption performance experiment for a certain light truck cab suspension system to study the shock attenuation rate of the four suspension points of the cab when it is under no-load and full-load status running with speed of respectively 40,50,60,70,80 km /h, as well as under the idle speed status. The result shows that the shock attenuation rates of the front cab suspension points under various conditions are low. And the shock attenuation rate of the back cab suspension points at Z direction is low. Front and back cab suspension points have no attenuation to low frequency shock. It is suggested that the cab suspension rigidity needs to be re-matched.

In recent years, vibration roller market has required increasingly not only on working capacity but also ride comfort. Thus, in order to reduce the effect of vibration to operators, identification and elimination of vibration sources are the most important tasks to achieve optimum design. In this paper, the attention is paid to cab’s low-frequency sloshing analysis and optimal design for cab’s isolation system of vibratory roller. When working, it often exists the problem of cab’s low-frequency sloshing in the direction of forward motion. In order to solve this problem, the dynamic test and simulations analysis are carried out; and the main reasons causing cab’s low-frequency sloshing are found out. The optimization model according to the two points response amplitude in the direction of forward motion on the cab to reach the minimum value in the low frequency range is proposed in this paper. And also, the auxiliary vibrations isolator for solving the low-frequency sloshing in the direction of forward motion is designed.

This study proposes a dynamic model of the vibratory roller interacting with the off-road deformed terrain to analyze the low-frequency performance of three different cab’s isolation mounts under the different operating conditions. In order to evaluate the ride comfort of the vibratory roller with the different cab’s isolation mounts, a three-dimensional nonlinear dynamic model is established. The power spectral density (PSD) and the weighted root mean square (RMS) of acceleration responses of the vertical driver’s seat, cab’s pitch, and roll vibrations are chosen as objective functions in the low-frequency range. Contrastive analysis of low-frequency vibration characteristics of the vibratory roller with the traditional rubber mounts, the hydraulic mounts, and the pneumatic mounts is carried out. Experimental investigations are also used to verify the accuracy of models. The research results show that the hydraulic mounts have an obvious effect on mitigating the cab vibration and improving the ride comfort in comparison with the traditional rubber mounts and the pneumatic mounts.

This study aims at dynamic behaviour of a Linke Hofmann Busch coach and its sensitive parameters against track irregularities considering various suspended equipment. The randomly distributed track irregularities characterized in terms of Indian Rail Road PSD standard are considered main source of excitation that produces undesired vibrations. The coach body and bogie frame subjected to 4 degree of freedom motions (bounce, lateral, roll and pitch) are modelled using finite element methodology where system matrices such as mass, stiffness and damping matrices are obtained for eigenvalue solution. Using modal parameters obtained as above and PSD of track irregularities, both vertical and lateral mean square acceleration responses (MSAR) are determined at various points of concern on coach body. It is observed that the vertical peak responses occur in low frequency range (0-10 Hz) which is caused by long wavelength irregularities of track that causes discomfort. It is also observed that constant peak lateral responses occur at still lower frequency as compared to vertical response which again causes discomfort to vehicle riders. This concludes that there is a further scope of improvement in comfort level with minor adjustments of suspended equipment of a LHB coach. A sensitivity analysis based on the partial derivatives against FRF displacement is conducted and most sensitive design parameters are obtained for optimization to improve ride comfort. It is suggested that if the mass of bio toilet tanks and relative position of battery box + transformer unit i.e. most sensitive parameters of suspended equipment are changed then the ride comfort can be improved
