Vehicle Suspension System

The main objective of the variable damper controlled vehicle suspension system is to reduce the discomfort identified by passengers which arises from road roughness and to increase the ride handling related with the rolling, pitching and heave movements. This imposes a very fast and accurate variable damper to meet as much control objectives, as possible. The method of the proposed damper is to reduce the vibrations on each corner of vehicle by providing control forces to suspension system while travelling on uneven road. Numerical simulations on a full vehicle suspension model are performed in the Matlab Simulink toolboxes to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The obtained results show that the proposed system provides better results than the conventional suspension system.

The main objective of designed the controller for a vehicle suspension system is to reduce the discomfort sensed by passengers which arises from road roughness and to increase the ride handling associated with the pitching and rolling movements. This necessitates a very fast and accurate controller to meet as much control objectives, as possible. Therefore, this paper deals with an artificial intelligence Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) technique to design a robust controller to meet the control objectives. The advantage of this controller is that it can handle the nonlinearities faster than other conventional controllers. The approach of the proposed controller is to minimize the vibrations on each corner of vehicle by supplying control forces to suspension system when travelling on rough road. The other purpose for using the NF controller for vehicle model is to reduce the body inclinations that are made during intensive manoeuvres including braking and cornering. A full vehicle nonlinear active suspension system is introduced and tested. The robustness of the proposed controller is being assessed by comparing with an optimal Fractional Order PIλDμ (FOPID) controller. The results show that the intelligent NF controller has improved the dynamic response measured by decreasing the cost function.

Suspension Model

Vehicle suspension is a MIMO coupling nonlinear system; its vibration couples that of the tires. When magneto-rheological dampers are adopted to attenuate vibration of the sprung mass, the damping forces of the dampers need to be distributed. For the suspension without decoupling, the vibration attenuation is difficult to be controlled precisely. In order to attenuate the vibration of the vehicle effectively, a nonlinear full vehicle semi-active suspension model is proposed. Considering the realization of the control of magneto-rheological dampers, a hysteretic polynomial damper model is adopted. A differential geometry approach is used to decouple the nonlinear suspension system, so that the wheels and sprung mass become independent linear subsystems and independent to each other. A control rule of vibration attenuation is designed, by which the control current applied to the magneto-rheological damper is calculated, and used for the decoupled suspension system. The simulations show that the acceleration of the sprung mass is attenuated greatly, which indicates that the control algorithm is effective and the hysteretic polynomial damper model is practicable.

Vehicle Suspension System

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.

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.
