본 연구의 목적은 에어 서스펜션 시스템의 제어 특성을 분석하는 것이다. 우선 에어 서스펜션 시스템의 수학적 모델을 구하였다. 그리고 퍼지 제어 알고리즘을 적용하여 반능동식 하이브리드 제어 에어 서스펜션을 구하였다. 차체 가속도에 따라 퍼지 제어기는 오리피스 개도를 변경하여 특정 영역에서 에어 스프링의 강도를 조정한다. 동시에 서스펜션 운동 상태에 따라 서스펜션 댐핑이 제어된다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 반능동식 하이브리드 제어 에어 서스펜션이 노면 접지능력의 상실이나 서스펜션 작동 공간의 증가 없이 최고의 승차감을 제공할 수 있음을 보여준다.

To improve the energy efficiency and ride quality of an electric vehicle, it is highly desirable to develop a lightweight suspension system with high travel ratio. Air suspension systems with a rubber tube are often considered optimal for such requirements. In this study, a new lightweight air suspension system with high travel ratio was developed for use in electric vehicles. Furthermore, an FE-based multi-flexible-body dynamics (MFBD) model of the suspension system was developed as a tool for improving the design of an actual suspension system. The MFBD model includes the FE modeling of the rubber tube module as well as other essential parts of the air suspension system. The system parameters for the model were obtained from various experiments. The validity of the developed MFBD model was shown through a comparison between the experimental results and the simulation results.

This study analyzed air suspension seat frame structure and vibration for 50 - 180 kg mass driver to obtain optimum seat design parameter values for the equivalent spring constant and damping coefficient. Various air suspension seat frames were designed following WTS-003 and KS B 6839 standards, and then evaluated using finite elements analysis. Resonance and vibration tests were performed according to the 78/764/EEC standard.

The objective of this study was to present a damped pneumatic suspension, a bike fork suspension, which can adapt itself to incoming road excitations is presented in this paper. It consists of a hydraulic damper and a pneumatic spring in parallel with a linear spring. The study also proposed a variable and switchable orifice, in the hydraulic damper, to select appropriate damping property. Hydraulic-pneumatic circuit model for the bike fork suspension was established based on AMESim, in order to predict its performance. In addition, elastic-damping characteristics of the fork such as spring constant and viscous damping coefficient were computed and compared, for validation, with those evaluated by experiment using the universal test machine. Through simulation analysis and test, it was established that the hydraulic-pneumatic circuit model is effective and practical for development of future MTB suspensions.

This paper presented comparison of vibration characteristics of a 5-ton truck at the two kinds of rear axle suspension, a conventional leaf spring suspension and an air spring suspension. Vibration at the selected location in the freight compartment and the rear axle were measured while the vehicle was running on various kinds of road at the specified speed. At all kinds of the driving conditions used in the test the air spring suspension showed good performance of vibration attenuation, especailly at the frequency range of under 5 Hz.

기술의 발달과 생활환경의 고급화로 인해서 자동차 탑승자의 주행 안락감에 대한 욕구와 기대감이 높아지고 있어 자동차를 개발하는 데 중요한 요소가 되었다. Karnopp외 2인에 의해 제안된 스카이훅(sky-hook) 현가이론은 능동/반능동 현가장치와 관련하여 잘 알려진 제어알고리즘으로 노면의 외란에 의한 차체의 수직가속도를 줄이기 위해서 가상적인 기준면을 공증에 설정하고 차체와 가상의 기준면 사이에 감쇠기론 설치하는 개념이다. 기존의 스카이훅 현가이론을 비롯한 일반적인 제어에서는 고주파 성분의 제어 상태 파라미터들로 인하여 발생한 과도한 제어입력과 그에 따르는 제어의 비효율성이 존재하고 있다.(중략)

In this study, integration control of air-cell seat and semi-active suspension is proposed to minimize the road-tyre force which can cause uncomfortable feeling to rider. The proposed integration control with sliding perturbation observer is consisted of air-cell seat control which uses the force generated by air-cell and the sky-hook control. The air-cell seat itself has been modeled as a 1 degree of freedom spring-damper system. The actual characteristics of the air-cell have been analyzed through experiments. In this paper, we introduces a new robust motion control algorithm using partial state feedback for a nonlinear system with modelling uncertainties and external disturbances. The major contribution of this work is the development and design of robust observer for the state and the perturbation. The combination skyhook controller and air-cell controller using the observer improves control performance, because of the robust routine called Sliding Observer Design for Integration Control of Air-Cell Seat and Semi-active Suspension. The simulation results show a high accuracy and a good performance.
