A new design of the passive suspension is aided by game theory to attain the best compromise between ride quality and suspension deflections. Extensive simulations are performed on three type road surface models A, B, C pavement grades based on the guidelines provided by ISO-2631 with the Matlab/Simulink environment. The preliminary results show that, when the passive suspension is optimized via the proposed approach, a substantial improvement in the vertical ride quality is obtained while keeping the suspension deflections within their allowable clearance when the vehicle moves at a constant velocity v=20 m/s, and the comfort performance of a suspension seat can be enhanced by 20%-30%.展开更多

The vibration curve of the suspensions of test vehicles is obtained based on the data from a test rig for vehicle braking vs. suspension anti-vibration efficiency. The system parameters such as first inherent frequency and damp rate, as well as the chaos parameters such as the minimum embedding dimension and correlation dimension, are calculated by the vibration curve. The relationship among anti-vibration performance, chaos parameters and system parameters of vehicle suspension is presented. The research results show that the minimum embedding dimension Mmin can be used to estimate the change of the anti-vibration performance of the front suspension of the off-road jeep. The smaller Min is, the worse anti-vibration performance is. The corresponding stiffness and damp of the front suspension of the off-road jeep is smaller. Correlation dimension D2 can be used to identify different suspension types such as those of the off-road jeep and the car. The D2 of the off-road jeep is larger than the one of the car.展开更多

Two different models of the MR-damper are integrated into the closed-loop system model, which includes: a model based upon the mean force-velocity (f-v) behaviour; and a model synthesis comprising inherent nonsmooth hysteretic force and the force limiting properties of the MR damper. The vehicle models are analyzed to study the vibration attenuation performance of the MR-damper using the semi-active force tracking PI control algorithm. The simulation results are also presented to demonstrate the influence of the damper nonlinearity, specifically the hysteresis, on the suspension performance. The results show that the proposed control strategy can yield superior vibration attenuation performance of the vehicle suspension actuated by the controllable MR-damper not only in the sprung mass resonance and the ride zones, but also in the vicinity of the wheel-hop. The results further show that the presence of damper hystersis deteriorates the suspension performance.展开更多
