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.

Book excerpt: Advanced Seat Suspension Control System Design for Heavy Duty Vehicles provides systematic knowledge of the advanced seat suspension design and control for heavy duty vehicles. Nowadays, people are paying more and more attention to ride comfort and the health of drivers and passengers. This is especially for heavy duty vehicles, where drivers/operators are exposed to much severer vibrations than those in passenger vehicles due to a harsh working environment, operating conditions, and long hour driving, etc. Seat suspension systems can effectively help to suppress the high magnitude vibration transmitted to drivers with relatively simple structure and low cost, and hence are widely adopted in heavy duty vehicles. This book helps researchers and engineers to have a comprehensive understanding of the seat suspension system and to conduct in-depth studies on seat suspension design and control; this book covers a wide range of perspectives about seat suspension design and control methods. Describes the variable damping, variable stiffness, and, especially, variable inertance seat suspensions Provides the advanced and comprehensive knowledge about semi-active vibration control Introduces the multiple-DOF seat suspension Includes the innovative hybrid seat suspension and nonlinear seat suspension All the introduced designs have been prototyped and experimentally validated Provides Matlab Simulation programming codes

This book was released on 2008-05-27 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semi-active Suspension Control provides an overview of vehicle ride control employing smart semi-active damping systems. These systems are able to tune the amount of damping in response to measured vehicle-ride and handling indicators. Two physically different dampers (magnetorheological and controlled-friction) are analysed from the perspectives of mechatronics and control. Ride comfort, road holding, road damage and human-body modelling are studied. Mathematical modelling is balanced by a large and detailed section on experimental implementation, where a variety of automotive applications are described offering a well-rounded view. The implementation of control algorithms with regard to real-life engineering constraints is emphasised. The applications described include semi-active suspensions for a saloon car, seat suspensions for vehicles not equipped with a primary suspension, and control of heavy-vehicle dynamic-tyre loads to reduce road damage and improve handling.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vehicle suspensions impose conflicting design requirements to satisfy the performance goals related to ride, handling and road holding. Semi-active damping suspensions, with their low cost and low power requirement, have been extensively investigated to achieve better compromises among different performance measures. The magneto-rheological (MR) fluid dampers offer superior potential to achieve rapid variations in the damping force and thus the wide bandwidth. The MR dampers, however, exhibit strong nonlinearities associated with force saturation and hysteresis, which affect the force-tracking performance of the controller in an adverse manner. This dissertation research focuses on characterization and modeling of the hysteretic force-velocity (F-v) characteristics of a MR-fluid damper, and analyses of different semi-active controller syntheses to achieve improved multi-objective vehicle suspension performance. The force-limiting and hysteresis properties of a prototype MR-damper are characterized in the laboratory as functions of applied magnetic field, and response and excitation variables. An asymmetric force generation algorithm is formulated and integrated into the command current circuit to achieve asymmetric force in compression and rebound from the symmetric damper hardware. The measured data are used to identify the low-speed pre-yield, post-yield, force-limiting and hysteretic force-velocity characteristics in both symmetric as well as asymmetric damping modes. A generalized analytical model of the MR-damper is developed using symmetric and asymmetric sigmoid functions. The validity of the proposed model is demonstrated under wide ranges of control current and excitations. A number of control syntheses are formulated to achieve semi-active modulation in drive current of the MR-damper, including four different on-off and "skyhook"--Based hi-lo, and "inverse-model"-based hi-lo and sliding-mode controllers. Continuous modulation (CM) and asymmetric damping force generation (ADFG) algorithms are proposed and integrated within the control policies to minimize switching transients in the symmetric and asymmetric modes.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the new advancements in the vibration control strategies and controllable actuator manufacturing, the semi-active actuators (dampers) are finding their way as an essential part of vibration isolators, particularly in vehicle suspension systems. This is attributed to the fact that in a semi-active system, the damping coefficients can be adjusted to improve ride comfort and road handling performances. The currently available semi-active damper technologies can be divided into two main groups. The first uses controllable electromagnetic valves. The second uses magnetorheological (MR) fluid to control the damping characteristics of the system. Leading automotive companies such as General Motors and Volvo have started to use semi-active actuators in the suspension systems of high-end automobiles, such as the Cadillac Seville and Corvette, to improve the handling and ride performance in the vehicle. But much more research and development is needed in design, fabrication, and control of semi-active suspension systems and many challenges must be overcome in this area. Particularly in the area of heavy vehicle systems, such as light armored vehicles, little related research has been done, and there exists no commercially available controllable damper suitable for the relatively high force and large displacement requirements of such application. As the first response to these requirements, this thesis describes the design and modeling of an in-house semi-active twin-tube shock absorber with an internal variable solenoid-actuated valve. A full-scale semi-active damper prototype is developed and the shock absorber is tested to produce the required forcing range. The test results are compared with results of the developed mathematical model. To gain a better understanding of the semi-active suspension controlled systems and evaluate the performance of those systems, using perturbation techniques this thesis provides a detailed nonlinear analysis of the semi-active systems and establishes the issue of nonlinearity in on-off semi-active controlled systems. Despite different semi-active control methods and the type of actuators used in a semi-active controlled system, one important practical aspect of all hydro-mechanical computer controlled systems is the response-time. The longest response-time is usually introduced by the actuator -in this case, controllable actuator - in the system. This study investigates the effect of response-time in a semi-active controlled suspension system using semi-active dampers. Numerical simulations and analytical techniques are deployed to investigate the issue. The performance of the system due to the response-time is then analyzed and discussed. Since the introduction of the semi-active control strategy, the challenge was to develop methods to effectively use the capabilities of semi-active devices. In this thesis, two semi-active control strategies are proposed. The first controller to be proposed is a new hybrid semi-active control strategy based on the conventional Rakheja-Sankar (R-S) semi-active control to provide better ride-handling quality for vehicle suspension systems as well as industrial vibration isolators. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this new strategy, the analytical method of averaging and the numerical analysis method are deployed. In addition, a one-degree-of-freedom test bed equipped with a semi-active magnetorheological (MR) damper is developed. The tests are performed using the MATLAB XPC-target to guarantee the real-time implementation of the control algorithm. The second controller is an intelligent fuzzy logic controller system to optimize the suspension performance. The results from this intelligent system are compared with those of several renowned suspension control methods such as Skyhook. It is shown that the proposed controller can enhance concurrently the vehicle handling and ride comfort, while consuming less energy than existing control methodologies. The key goal of this thesis is to employ the existing knowledge of the semi-active systems together with the new ideas to develop a semi-active suspension system. At the same time, development of an experimental simulation system for real-time control of an experimental test bed is considered. To achieve its goals and objectives, this research study combines and utilizes the numerical simulations and analytical methods, as well as lab-based experimental works. The challenge in this research study is to identify practical and industrial problems and develop proper solutions to those problems using viable scientific approaches.

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.
