In this research, a mathematical model of quarter car hydro-pneumatic suspension system is built and developed using the AMESim software. The influence of hydro-pneumatic suspension system performance on the suspension parameters is presented on random road surface. The comparisons between passive and hydro-pneumatic suspension system is plotted. The result showed that the hydro­ pneumatic suspension system acceleration is reduced by 50%, 12% reduction in suspension working space and 3% reduction in dynamic tyre deflection in comparison with the traditional passive suspension system.

This paper presents a many-objective optimal design of a four-degree-of-freedom passive suspension system with an inerter device. In the optimization process, four objectives are considered: passenger’s head acceleration (HA), crest factor (CF), suspension deflection (SD), and tire deflection (TD). The former two objectives are important for the health and comfort of the driver and the latter two quantify the suspension system performance. The spring ks and damping cs constants between the sprung mass and unsprung mass, the inertance coefficient B, and the tire spring constant ky are considered as design parameters. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is used to solve this optimization problem. The results show that there are many optimal trade-offs among the design objectives that could be applicable to suspension design in the industry.

The main purpose of vehicle suspension system is to isolate the vehicle main body from any road geometrical irregularity in order to improve the passengers ride comfort and to maintain good handling stability. The present work aim at designing a control system for an active suspension system to be applied in today’s automotive industries. The design implementation involves construction of a state space model for quarter car with two degree of freedom and a development of full state-feedback controller. The performance of the active suspension system was assessed by comparing it response with that of the passive suspension system. Simulation using Matlab/Simulink environment shows that, even at resonant frequency the active suspension system produces a good dynamic response and a better ride comfort when compared to the passive suspension system.

A new variable stiffness suspension system based on a recent variable stiffness mechanism is proposed. The overall system is composed of the traditional passive suspension system augmented with a variable stiffness mechanism. The main idea is to improve suspension performance by varying stiffness in response to road disturbance. The system is analyzed using a quarter car model. The passive case shows much better performance in ride comfort over the tradition counterpart. Analysis of the invariant equation shows that the car body acceleration transfer function magnitude can be reduced at both the tire-hop and rattle space frequencies using the lever displacement transfer function thereby resulting in a better performance over the traditional passive suspension system. An H∞ controller is designed to correct for the performance degradation in the rattle space thereby providing the best trade-off between the ride comfort, suspension deflection and road holding.
