This book was released on 2014 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of vehicle suspension systems is an active research field in which one of the objectives is to improve the passenger's comfort through the vibration reduction of the internal engine and external road disturbances. Comfort and road handling in car can be improved by including a semi-active suspension system, controlled by varying the damping based on measurements of the vehicle motions. This research deals with design and development of a quarter-car suspension using magneto-rheological damper (MR). A quarter-car of two degree-of-freedom (DOF) system is designed and constructed on the basis of the concept of a four-wheel independent suspension to simulate the actions of a semi-active vehicle suspension system. The selection of an appropriate MR damper model is crucial, since it provides the suitable current and force relationship and allows finding the appropriate force to the system. The behavioral characteristic of selected MR damper model is simulated and analyzed with different current input. An effective control structure is a key function of this research to determine the complexity of the control design and parameter tuning process. The performance of Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) and Linear Control Regulator (LQR) controller is designed based on the system requirements. In this research, the PID controller is verified experimentally under different road excitations to improve the ride quality and vehicle safety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brief description about designing of Magnetorheological (MR) damper are described. MR dampers are semi-active suspension devices that use MR fluids to produce a controllable damper. The mechanical properties of the suspension can be controlled by adjusting the yield stress of the MR fluid. In this book, the design development for a new mixed mode MR damper with combination of shear and squeeze working modes was carried out. The magnetic field generated by electromagnetic coils in MR damper was analyzed using finite element method. The MR damper was designed and fabricated based on the simulation results. Combination of process parameters of working modes condition and applied current under quasi-static loadings were used in the experiments. Results, the unique damping characteristics of mixed mode MR damper was found where in general, a higher damping force has obtained in mixed mode than single mode. Eventually, the design of MR damper will provide an opportunity to study and consequently understand on how the MR fluids react to such operating condition in order to be realized in the MR damper.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the point of view of suspension damper, semi-active dampers with only minimal power requirement could be applied to achieve variable damping to enhance suspension performance under complex vibration and shock environments. Magneto-rheological (MR) fluid based dampers offer significant potential for realizing semi-actively controlled variable damping with only minimal power. The MR-fluid dampers invariably exhibit considerable hysteresis, while the damping force varies with the intensity of applied electro-magnetic field and the nature of vibration in a highly nonlinear manner. A simulation model based on symmetric and asymmetric sigmoid functions is developed to fully characterize the properties of a MR-damper as function of excitation and control current. A comprehensive laboratory test program is undertaken to characterize the damping properties of a MR damper under wide ranges of excitations and control current. The essential fundamental features are identified for the modeling task, while the model parameters are identified using multi-parameter error minimization techniques. The validity of the proposed generic model is thoroughly examined by comparing the model response with the measured data under a wide range of excitations, particularly the force saturation and the hysteresis behaviour. An independent current function is further derived that could be integrated to reported regression-based hysteresis models to enhance their prediction abilities. From the results of the study, it is concluded that the refined Bouc-Wen and the proposed generalized sigmoid function model can fully characterized the nonlinear MR damping behaviour as function of applied current and excitation. A nonlinear analytical model of a pneumatic suspension seat including the motion limiting stops is developed for synthesis and analyses of the MR-damping control algorithms. The validity of the passive suspension seat model is thoroughly examined under various deterministic and random vibration excitations of varying intensities. The results suggest that attenuation of shock as well as vibration imposes difficulties design compromise of the passive damper. Owing to the strongly nonlinear properties of the suspension-seat and the MR-damper, such as hysteresis, saturation and end-stop impacts, a 'hi-lo' semi-active control algorithm is synthesized to realized modulation of the control current and thus the damping force following the skyhook control law. A continuous modulation function is further synthesized and integrated to ensure smooth transition between the 'hi' and 'lo' states. A relative position control is further introduced to limit the frequency and severity of shock motions caused by end-stop impacts. A set of performance measures is proposed to assess the characteristics of the semi-active and the resulting integrated controller under a wide range of excitations, including deterministic excitations of continuous and transient nature and random excitations of different vehicles. The potential performance benefits of the controller design are further investigated through a hardware-in-the-loop test and simulation program. The results are used to demonstrate the validity of the MR-damper and suspension seat models, and effectiveness of the control algorithm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of automotive systems is concerned with ride comfort and handling performance of the vehicle. In the last decade, semi-active suspension systems have been greatly analyzed for automotive applications as they offer the reliability of passive devices, but maintain the versability and adaptability of active systems. Semi-active Magneto-Rheological (MR) dampers present a viable choice for suspension systems. In an MR damper, the damping characteristics can be modified with the application of a magnetic field to the coil inside the tube of the device. Although MR dampers are greatly promising for the control of vehicle suspension systems, their major drawback lies on their non-linear and hysteretic behavior. This behavior makes it a challenge to developed a model for the system. Furthermore, the first step in designing a control strategy for a suspension system is modeling the behavior of the damper in an accurate manner. The present research is focused in the modeling of an MR damper. The problem statement is centered on what type of model of an MR damper can be developed, wich can accurately predict the highly non-linear behavior of the system and can be optimal for online control. For this purpose, various sets of experimental data were obtained from an industrial MR damper, Then, four state-of-the-art MR damper models were trained, analyzed and compared using quantitative and qualitative techniques. Each of the models was selected from four main modeling approaches, phenomenological, semi-phenomenological, black-box, and fuzzy-based. By the end of the research, a novel model for an MR damper was presented, wich combined fuzzy techniques with semo-phenomenological modeling. The results showed that the proposed structure was able to accurately predict the behavior of the MR damper and was suitable for control purposes. The final results can be greatly applicable to the automotive industry, where better comfort and handing control systems could be developed. In addition, the results could be useful to the vast number of industries and applications where MR dampers are employed.

Book excerpt: Mountain biking has significantly evolved recently, thanks to utilizing cutting-edge technologies in mountain bicycle design and fabrication. In this research we study development of a semi-active suspension system using magneto-rheological (MR) fluid dampers instead of conventional oil based shocks. MR dampers are devices with magnetic field dependent damping characteristics.Low power consumption, high controllability, quick response, and high durability are among the major features of MR dampers. In this work we first investigate the damping characteristics of MR dampers to find out if characteristics comparable to the conventional shocks used in mountain bikes can be achieved. To this end,experimental tests were performed on an off-the-shelf MR damper. The results indicate that damping characteristics similar to the ones used in mountain bikes can in fact be achieved using MR technology.However, requirements such as small weight and wide dynamic range have to be addressed in designing a MR damper for mountain bikes. These considerations are studied in this thesis by formulating a simple design followed by a constrained optimization problem and designing the damper accordingly. Utilizing Finite element modeling and simulation tools are further utilized to fine tune and optimize the design.A prototype MR damper is fabricated after the above design steps are carried out.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magneto rheological (MR) fluid based dampers are very promising for semi-active or adaptive suspension control system which is filled with MR fluid. Its huge advantages attract the researchers to use it in more advanced application. MR damper's damping force can be controlled by changing the viscosity of its internal magneto-rheological fluids (MRF). However the requirement of external power source is one of the major concerns. Self-powered MR damper is one of the recent advancement which is accomplished only for double ended MR damper. In this work an energy generated mono tube MR damper has been designed and investigated with power generation which has a huge demand in the vehicle suspension system. This damper combines the advantages of energy harvesting (reusing wasted energy) and MR damping (controllable damping force). This multifunctional integration would bring great benefits such as energy saving, size and weight reduction, lower cost, high reliability, and less maintenance for the MR damper systems. The proposed MR damper model consists permanent magnet and coil combination of energy generation. Two magnetic fields are induced inside this damper. One is in the outer coil of the power generator and another is the piston head coils. A 2-D Axisymmetric model of energy generated MR damper is developed in COMSOL Multiphysics where it is analyzed extensively by finite element method and its hardware model is tested by Universal Testing Machine (UTM). The complete magnetic isolation between these two fields is accomplished here, which can be seen in the finite element analysis and damper characteristic analysis. The energy generation ability of the MR damper model is tested by UTM and oscilloscope combination and the maximum output voltage is measured around 0.8 volts by oscilloscope. Finally, experimental dampers characteristic analysis is performed by using RD-8041-1 MR Damper. These results are compared with the hardware model experimental results, which clearly validate the hardware model damper characteristic.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suspension has been the most important subsystem of the vehicle viewed as a system. The ride comfort and vehicle handling performance are affected by the suspension design. Automotive technology has been continuously incorporating developments over the past few decades to provide the end users with a better comfort of driving. Multi-objective optimization of MR damper with objective function of maximizing damping force generated by MR damper with the geometrical parametric constraint function is achieved in this research using pattern search optimization technique. Research focuses on design, modeling, and simulation of active suspension using non-linear theory of the Magneto-Rheological (MR) damper with consideration of the hysteresis behavior for a quarter car model. The research is based on the assumption that each wheel experiences same disturbance excitation. Hysteresis is analyzed using Bingham, Dahl's, and Bouc-Wen models. Research includes simulation of passive, Bingham, Dahl, and Bouc-wen models. Modeled systems are analyzed for the six road profiles, including road type C according to international standards ISO/TC108/SC2N67. Furthermore, the comparative study of the models for the highest comfort with less overshoot and settling time of vehicle sprung mass are executed. The Bouc-Wen model is 36.91 percent more comfortable than passive suspension in terms of damping force requirements and has a 26.16 percent less overshoot, and 88.31 percent less settling time. The simulation of the Bouc-Wen model yields a damping force requirement of 2003 N which is 97.63 percent in agreement with analytically calculated damping force generated by MR damper. PID controller implementation has improved the overshoot response of Bouc-Wen model in the range of 17.89 percent-81.96 percent for the different road profiles considered in this research without compromising on the settling time of system. PID controller implementation further improves the passenger comfort and vehicle ride handling capabilities. The interdisciplinary approach of systems engineering principles for the suspension design provides unique edge to this research. Classical systems engineering tools and MBSE approach are applied in the design of the MR damper. Requirement traceability successfully validates the optimized MR damper.
