Low-band type active suspension system is implemented on a passenger car. Level. roll, pitch and bouncing motion of body are controlled by a digital controller. Sky-hook damper is applied to control bouncing motion. This paper describes overall construction of the system, design of hydraulic system, sensor system, controller, and control scheme. Performance of prototype car has been evaluated on a test track and reported in the second paper.

이 논문에서는 반능동 진동 흡수기를 통합 시트/섀시 현가 장치에 확대, 적용하여 그 성능을 조사하였다. 통함 현가시스템의 성능분석을 위해 집중 인체질량과 함께 실험적으로 입증된 한 비선형 시트 쿠션 모델을 도입하였다. 또한 3 자유도 시트/섀시 현가시스템의 효과적인 진동제어를 위해 리아푸노브 바이스테이트 제어법칙을 사용하였다. 시뮬레이션결과 반능동 통합 현가장치는 시트 쿠션 모델과 관계없이 운전자의 승차감과 관련 있는 시트의 절대가속도 크기와 시트쿠션의 시트 트랙에 대한 상대변위를 상당히 감소시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나, 주로 사용되어온 선형 쿠션 모델을 사용한 경우보다 비선형쿠션 모델을 사용한 경우의 제진성능이 약간 저조함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 자동차 시트 설계시 성능분석을 위해서는 실제의(비선형의) 시트 쿠션 특성을 적용해야 함을 알 수 있다.

This paper prosed modelling and design method in suspension system sesign to analyze sky hook damper system by adopting active suspension control theory. Recent in the field of suspension system design it is general to adopt active control scheme for stiffness and damping, and connection with other vehicle stability control equipment is also intricate, it is required for control system scheme to design more robust, higher response and precision control equipment. It is hon that sky hook suspension system is better than passive spring-damper system in designing suspension equipment. We analyze location of damper in sky hook system and its motion equation then design robust control system. Numerical example is shown for validity of robust control system design in active sky hook suspension system.

In this paper, the performance of a semi-active suspension system for a passenger car has been investigated. Alternative semi-active suspensions control laws has been compared via simulations. The control laws investigated in this study are : sprung mass velocity feedback control law, sky-hook damping control law, and state feedback control law. Simulation results show that a semi-active suspension has potential to improve ride quality of automobiles.

A semi-active suspension test system was designed and built for the experimental study. Vehicle parameters were estimated through tests and a quarter-car model was validated by comparing computer simulation results and laboratory test results. Alternative semi-active suspension control laws have been tested using the test system. Modulable damper used in this study is a "reverse" damper with 42 states which is controlled by a stepper motor. Experimental results have shown that semi-active suspensions have potential to improve ride quality of automobiles.tomobiles.

As the fundamental study of an active suspension system, computer simulation is performed using a quarter model. Design data for the development of active suspension system are presented through performance estimation of active control laws in the time and frequency domain. The verification of compromise between ride quality and handling characteristics is carried out.

Recently, a number of researches about linear magnetorheological(MR) damper using valve-mode characteristics of MR fluid have sufficiently undertaken, but researches about rotary MR damper using shear-mode characteristics of MR fluid are not enough. In this paper, we performed vibration control of shear-mode MR damper for unlimited rotating actuator of mobile robot. Also fuzzy logic based vibration control for shear-mode MR damper is suggested. The parameters, like scaling factor of input/output and center of the triangular membership functions associated with the different linguistic variables, are tuned by genetic algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the fuzzy-skyhook controller for vibration control of shear-mode MR damper under impact force.

Recently, the in-wheel motor vehicle is rapidly developed to solve energy exhaustion and environmental problems. Especially, it has the advantage of independently driving the torque control of each wheel in the vehicle. However, due to the weight increase of wheel, the comfort of vehicle riding and performance of road holding become worse. In this paper, to compensate the poor performance, a simultaneous control of the driving torque and semi-active suspension system is investigated. A vehicle model is generated using CarSim Software and validated by field tests. Co-simulation of CarSim and MATLAB/Simulink with control logics is carried out, and it is found that simultaneous control of the driving torque and semi-active suspension system can improve driving stability and durability of the in-wheel motor system.

Active suspension control for vehicles is developed to improve both ride comfort and steering stability which are in trade off relation. In this study, the modal sky-hook controller for 7 D. O. F. model is proposed to resolve the problems such as computaional power restriction and uncertainties in modeling of systems and environments. Modal sky-hook controller reduces the coupling between the modes to be controlled. The simulation result for ride comfort shows that the perform ance of the proposed controller matches that of the optimal controller. Systematic method of determining its gain is proposed. The model sky-hook controller shows the robustness to road irregularity and modeling error.
