This paper presents the feasibility for improving the ride quality of railway vehicle equipped with semi-active suspension system using magnetorheological(MR) fluid damper. In order to achieve this goal, a fifteen degree of freedom of railway vehicle model, which includes a car body, bogie frame and wheel-set is proposed to represent lateral, yaw and roll motions. The MR damper system is incorporated with the governing equation of motion of the railway vehicle which includes secondary suspension. To illustrate the effectiveness of the controlled MR dampers on railway vehicle secondary suspension system, the sky-hook control law using the velocity feedback is adopted. Computer simulation for performance evaluation is performed using Matlab. Various control performances are demonstrated under external excitation which is the creep force between wheel and rail.

An automotive suspension system generally behaves like a low frequency band-pass filter(0.5 - 10 Hz). Passengers are very sensitive to this frequency range in terms of ride quality and road holding ability. In this paper, a LQG/ LTR controller is suggested to improve the ride quality and road holding ability in the specified frequency rage. It has been found by numerical simulation that the ride quality and road holding ability can be improved in the frequency ranges of 0.5 - 3.0 Hz and 0.3 - 2.1 Hz respectively. In addition, a new approach using root locus to evaluate the stability robustness of the active suspension system is studied. It is shown that the stability robustness of the LQG/LTR controller designed in this paper is improved, compared to the passive system.

In this paper, a composite controller cosisted of bandpass feedback controller and LQG/LTR controller is applied to a quarter-car model moving on a randomly profiled road. The LQG/LTR controller is used to achieve a design transfer toop. A bandpass feedback controller is adopted to eliminate the response due to the disturbance, which generally can not be measured, confined within an interested frequence range. The random road profile considered as colored noise is shaped from white noise by use of shaping filter. The performance of the composite control system is compared with that of an LQG/LTR control system.

A control algorithm for multi-stage dampers is developed based on the mode skyhook control concept, and implemented on the full vehicle system environment. The test vehicle system is equipped with the real time controller, four-stage variable dampers and sensors. The real time controller is developed using a digital signal processor(DSP), digital I/O, A/D and D/A converters. The dampers are driven by the electromagnetic actuators of less than 20 msec response time. The sensors include accelerometers, relative displacement transducers, and steering wheel rate sensors, etc. Through a series of tests in laboratory and proving ground, the performance of the semi-active suspension system is evaluated and it is shown that the vehicle dynamic characteristics is improved with the developed damping system. Futhermore, the parameter tuning methods to enhance vehicle dynamic performance are propsoed.

This paper presents the performance of a full vehicle MR suspension system at different tire pressure. The pressure of tire is related to tire stiffness, which is significantly affects the performance of suspension system. Therefore, in this research, the effectiveness of tire pressure on full vehicle MR suspension is evaluated. As a first step, the characteristic of tire with respect to pressure is experimentally tested and modeled. After that, the governing equation of MR damper and full vehicle MR suspension system are derived. The skyhook controller is implemented and the vibration control performance of full vehicle MR suspension is evaluated via simulation with respect to the tire pressure.

A functional suspension model is proposed as a kinematic describing function of the suspension, that represents the relative wheel displacement in polynomial form in terms of the vertical displacement of the wheel center and steering rack displacement. The relative velocity and acceleration of the wheel is represented in terms of first and second derivatives of the kinematic describing function. The system equations of motion for the full vehicle dynamic model are systematically derived by using velocity transformation method of multi-body dynamics. The comparison of test and simulation results demonstrates the validity of the proposed functional suspension modeling method. The model is computationally very efficient to achieve real-time simulation on TMS 320C6711 150 MHz DSP board of HILS (hardware-in-the-loop simulation) system for ECU (electronic control unit) evaluation of semi-active suspension.

This paper presents a modeling and control method of active suspension system with full-car model by using H$\infty$ control theory. The full-car model has seven degree of freedom including heaving, pitching and rolling motions. As the control method, H$\infty$ controller is designed so as to guarantee the robustness of closed loop system under the presence of uncertainties and disturbances. Active system with H$\infty$ controller can reduce the accelerations of the car-body in the heaving, pitching and rolling directions. The effectiveness of the controller is proved through simulation results in both time and frequency domains.

ER 유체(Electrorheological fluid)는 인가 전계에 따라 유체의 점도(Viscosity)와 댐핑력(Damping force)이 변화하는 혼합물질이며 반능동 현가장치, 고속 클러치, 진동 흡수장치 등에 적용되고 있다. ER 유체의 응용을 위해서는 강한 전계를 인가해 줄 수 있는 고전압 가변 전원장치가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 반능동 현가장치에 적용하기 위한 전원장치의 개발에 대하여 기술하였다. ER 유체의 전기적 특성, 고전압 전원장치의 요구조건, 전원장치의 설계 및 제작에 대하여 설명하였으며 최종적으로 실험을 통하여 개발된 고전압 전원장치가 ER 유체 응용에 적합함을 검증하였다.

This paper presents control response of a semi-active electro-rheological(ER) suspension. After showing dynamic characteristics of the ER damper, 1/4 car model is formulated by incorporating with the time constant of the damping force. $H_{\infty}$ controller compensating mass and time constant uncertainties is then designed in order to suppress vibration level of the suspension. The control responses such as vertical acceleration are presented.
