This paper proposes CDC (Continuous Damping Control) algorithm and verifies in multi-body dynamic vehicle. In order to distinguish a road profile on driving, waviness calculated by the filtered vertical-accelerations of sprung and unsprung masses is introduced. Sky-hook control is used at a low waviness road and constant damping level control is used at a high waviness road, where the hard damping level is determined by waviness, roll rate, acceleration, and deceleration. The damping levels of ride, anti-roll, anti-squat, and anti-dive modules are calculated by tuning parameters which is dependent upon vehicle velocity. Therefore this high tunable algorithm is useful to improve the ride and handling performance under various driving conditions. In the simulations, tire and dampers are modelled by SWIFT (Short Wavelength Intermediate Frequency Tire) model and 1st order delay model, and results are compared with conventional damper's.

Commercial vehicles are mostly subjected to relatively rougher ground environment than passenger vehicles. Many driver's seats of commercial vehicles have suspension system with spring and dampers. Then, impact or vibrative forces transmitted from the vehicle to the driver can be attenuated. This study deals with a ride evaluation method using sky-hook control algorithm for the suspension dampers. Vibration amplitude transmissibilities were compared between passive dampers and semi-active dampers with sky-hook control method.

There have been a lot of efforts on the improvement for the ride comfort and handling stability of the combat vehicles. Especially most of vehicles for military purpose have bad inertial condition and severe operating condition such as the rough road driving, and need a high mobility in the emergency status. It is necessary to apply the controlled suspension system in order to improve the vehicle mobile stability and ride comfort ability of crews. A feasibility study is performed on the application of the semi-active suspension system with a magneto-rheological controlled shock absorber for a $6{\times}6$ combat vehicle. First, the dynamic simulation model of the vehicle including the control model for the semi-active suspension system was executed. Based on this model, a hardware-in-the-loop simulation(HILS) system which has a semi-active suspension controller hardware was constructed. After full vehicle simulations were performed in virtual proving courses with this system, the semi-active suspension system was proven to give better ride comfort and handling stability in comparison with the conventional passive suspension system.

This paper proposes a new type of semi-active direct-drive valve(DDV) car suspension system using piezoelectric actuator associated with displacement amplifier. As a first step, controllable piezoelectric DDV damper is designed and governing equation of a quarter-vehicle suspension system consisting of sprung mass, spring, tire and the piezostack DDV damper is constructed. After deriving the equations of the motion, in order to control spool displacement and damping force the skyhook controller is designed and applied. The performance evaluation of the proposed semi-active suspension system is conducted with different displacement of spool. Then, the ride comfort analysis is undertaken in time domain with bump road profile.

현가장치의 기능은 노면으로부터의 진동이나 충격을 차체와 격리시키며 주행시 차량의 안전성을 확보하는데 있다. 고정된 스프링과 댐퍼의 특성으로는 두 가지 차량 주행특성을 나타내는 차체 가속도와 타이어 동적력을 최소화할 수 없으므로 가변형 댐퍼를 이용한 반능동식 현가장치로서 승차감과 주행 안정성을 동시에 고려하여 성능 지수를 설계하는 LQ(Linear Quadratic)제어 이론을 적용하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. LQ 제어 성능지수의 가중함수는 주파수와 시간에 관계없이 상수로 고정되기 때문에 각 요소에 대한 비중이 모든 상황에서 동일하나 승차감이나 주행 안정성의 평가기준이 모든 주파수에서 동일하지 않으므로 본 연구에서는 자기유변댐퍼를 장착한 1/4차의 반능동형 현가장치를 구성하고 LQ 제어의 문제점을 해결하는 Frequency shaped 최적 제어를 이용하여 특정 주파수 범위에서 차량의 승차감과 주행 안정성을 향상시킨다. Frequency shaped 최적 제어는 가중치가 주파수의 함수인 성능 지수를 통해 제어 규칙을 구하는데, 가중함수의 설계기준을 인간이 가장 민감하게 느끼는 4~8Hz의 주파수에서는 승차감에 두고 차축 고유 진동수 부근에는 주행안전성에 둔다. 모사실험과 실험 결과로부터 Frequency shaped 최적 제어기를 장착한 반능동형 현가장치가 승차감과 주행 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

Semi-active suspension systems are greatly expected to be in the mainstream of future controlled suspensions for passenger cars. In this study, a continuous variable damper for a passenger car suspension is developed, which is controlled actively and exhibits high performance with light weight, low cost, and low energy consumption. To get fast response of the damper, reverse damping mechanism is adapted, and to get small pressure change rate after blow-off, a pilot controlled proportional valve is designed and analyzed. The reverse continuous variable damper is designed as a HS-SH damper that offers good body control with reduced transferred input force from tire, compared with any other type of suspension system. The damper structure is designed, so that rebound and compression damping force can be tuned independently, of which variable valve is placed externally. The rate of pressure change with respect to the flow rate after blow-off becomes smooth when the fixed orifice size increases, which means that the blow-off slope is controllable using the fixed orifice size. The damping force variance is wide and continuous, and is controlled by the spool opening, of which scheme is usually adapted in proportional valves. The reverse continuous variable damper developed in this study is expected to be utilized in the semi-active suspension systems in passenger cars after its performance and simplicity of the design is confirmed through real car test.

For the semiactive vibration control, a variable damper and proper control systems are essential. In this research, a controllable damper was designed using the MR fluids and its mechanical properties such as damping constant and response time were measured. Since the response time of the MR damper was much longer than nominal MR fluid response time, the time delay of the damper should be considered in the design of controllers. It is shown that the advanced On/Off vibration control which includes the damper time delay performs more effectively than the conventional one.

The aim of this study is to provide fundamental information for the development of Semi-Active Damper Using Magnetic fluid. To achieve the aim, the damping effect of magnetic fluid is investigated by experiments that the diameter of inner circular bar and the input amplitude were varied in the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet and the electromagnet coil. From the study, the following conclusive remarks can be made. As the diameter of inner circular bar and input amplitude increase, the damping effect is improved. This is explained by the fact that as the contact area between inner circular bar and magnetic fluid increases, the increase of friction lowers kinematic energy. If the magnetic field is generated, the damping effect is improved. This is explained the assumption that as the intensity of magnetic fluid particle increases, there is virtual mass phenomenon.

A mathematical model and dynamic characteristics ova continuously variable damper for semi-active suspen- sion systems are investigated. After analyzing the geometry of a typical continuously variable damper, mathematical models fur individual components including piston, orifices, spring, and valves are first derived and then the flow equations for extension and compression strokes are investigated. To verify the developed mathematical model, the dynamic response of the model are simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK and are compared with experimental results. The proposed model can be used not only for mechanical components design but also for control system design.

MR Fluid, one of functional fluids, is developed for the application to automobile products. MR CDC damper using MR fluid has following principles. When ar electric current is applied to the solenoid, apparent viscosity of MR fluid passing through the annular gap which acts as magnetic circuits varies directly as the intensity of the current. These devices have a simple structure and excellent lime response characteristics, emerging as the alternatives of the conventional semi-active suspension systems. In this study, a design procedure of the magnetic circuit through the solenoid fore and the flux ring functioning as a magnetic path is investigated so as to optimize the design and performance of MR CDC dampers for the vehicles. In addition, an operating point on the B-H curve, the magnetization according to the variation in the annular gap, the pole piece width and the density of MR fluid are studied to design the optimal piston head within the restrained dimension range.
