Vehicle suspension system is the key part in vehicle chassis, which has influence on the vehicle ride comfort, handling stability, and security. The extension control, which is not constrained by common control method, could further improve the suspension system performance. The 7 degree-of-freedom suspension model is built. The extension controller is designed according to the function differences. In different extension set domains according to the correlation function, the corresponding control strategy is designed to ensure the suspension system obtains optimal performance in the classical domain and expands the controllable range outside the classical domain as large as possible. By adopting game theory, the domain is optimally divided, and the domain boundary control jump is smoothed by introducing Takagi–Sugeno–Kang fuzzy control into the extension control. Through the simulation and results comparison, it is demonstrated that the extension control could further improve the vehicle ride comfort than the optimal control and the extension control ability can be further promoted through domain game and Takagi–Sugeno–Kang fuzzy control. The analysis of the influence of the extension controller parameter varieties on suspension system performance shows that the error-weighted coefficient and control coefficient have significant effect to the suspension system performance.

In this paper, an optimal Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative (FOPID) controller is applied in vehicle active suspension system to improve the ride comfort and vehicle stability without consideration of the actuator. The optimal values of the five gains of FOPID controller to minimize the objective function are tuned using a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA). A half vehicle suspension system is modelled mathematically as 6 degrees-of-freedom mechanical system and then simulated using Matlab/Simulink software. The performance of the active suspension with FOPID controller is compared with passive suspension system under bump road excitation to show the efficiency of the proposed controller. The simulation results show that the active suspension system using the FOPID controller can offer a significant enhancement of ride comfort and vehicle stability.

An optimal preview control of a vehicle suspension system traveling on a rough road is studied. A three-dimensional seven degree-of-freedom car-riding model and several descriptions of the road surface roughness heights, including haversine (hole/bump) and stochastic filtered white noise models, are used in the analysis. It is assumed that contact-less sensors affixed to the vehicle front bumper measure the road surface height at some distances in the front of the car. The suspension systems are optimized with respect to ride comfort and road holding preferences including accelerations of the sprung mass, tire deflection, suspension rattle space and control force. The performance and power demand of active, active and delay, active and preview systems are evaluated and are compared with those for the passive system. The results show that the optimal preview control improves all aspects of the vehicle suspension performance while requiring less power. Effects of variation of preview time and variations in the road condition are also examined.

In this paper, the dynamics of the vehicle suspension system under the random excitation and the periodic excitation are investigated. To improve the damping performance of the vehicle suspension system, a two stage ISD suspension with “Inerter-Spring-Damper” in each stage is proposed based on electromechanical similarity theory. A vehicle dynamic model with two stage ISD suspension is established in this paper. The dynamic equation is solved by the Runge-Kutta method and the dynamic response of the whole vehicle system is obtained. Taking the traditional suspension as the comparison object, the dynamic characteristics of the system under random excitation and periodic excitation are studied in the time domain, and the suppression effect of the suspension designed in this paper on the resonance peak is verified in the frequency domain. The influence of the inertia coefficient on the damping performance of the vehicle suspension system is analyzed. The effects of excitation amplitude and vehicle speed on ride comfort improvement of vehicle system with two stage ISD suspension are discussed respectively. The results show that, the resonance peak values of body acceleration, dynamic travel of rear suspension and rear tire dynamic load frequency response are reduced by 59.1%, 21.6%, and 60.3% respectively. With the increase of excitation amplitude in the range of 0.02–0.04 m, the ride comfort improvement of two stage ISD suspension system is always more than 61%. With the increase of vehicle speed in the range of 10–25m/s, the performance improvement rate of two stage ISD suspension system can reach more than 34.1%.

Vehicle suspension system with hysteretic nonlinearity has obvious nonlinear characteristics, which directly cause the system to the possibility of existence of bifurcation and chaos. Two degrees of freedom for the 1/4 body suspension model is established and the behavior of the system under road multi-frequency excitations is analyzed. In the paper, it reveals the existence of chaos in the system with the Poincaré map, phase diagram, time history graph, and its chaotic behavior is controlled by nonlinear feedback. Numerical simulation shows the effectiveness and feasibility of the control method with improved ride comfort. The results may supply theoretical bases for the analysis and optimal design of the vehicle suspension system.

This paper focuses on the influence of various vehicle suspension systems on ride comfort. A vehicle model with eight degrees of freedom is introduced. With this model, various types of non-linear suspensions such as active and semi-active suspensions are investigated. From this investigation, we draw the conclusion that the active and semi-active suspensions models are beneficial for ride comfort.
