This paper presents the enhancement of vehicle stability by active geometry control suspension(AGCS) system as the world-first, unique and patented chassis technology, which has more advantages than the conventional active chassis control systems in terms of the basic concept. The control approach of the conventional systems such as active suspensions(slow active, full active) and four wheel steering(4WS) system is directly to control the same direction with acting load to stabilize vehicle behavior resulting from external inputs, but AGCS controls the cause of vehicle behaviors occurring from vehicle and thus makes the system stable because it works as mechanical system after control action. The effect of AGCS is the remarkable enhancement of avoidance performance in abrupt lane change driving by controlling the rear bump toe geometry.

In this paper, ANFIS intelligence control of a semi-active suspension system is investigated. The strength of the ER damper is controlled by a high voltage power supply. This paper deals with a two-degree-of-freedom suspension using the damper with ERF for a quarter vehicle system. The control law for semi-active suspensions modeled in this study is developed using passive and ANFlS control method. Computer simulation results show that the semi-active suspension with ERF damper has good performances of ride quality

In this paper, skyhook control of a semi-active ER(Electro-Rheological) damper is investigated. The strength of the ER damper is controlled by a high voltage power supply. This paper deals with a two-degree-of-freedom suspension using the damper with ERF for a quarter vehicle system. The control law for semi-active suspensions modeled in this study is developed using skyhook and Linear Quadratic Regulator(LQR) optimal control method. Computer simulation and experimental results show that the semi-active suspension with ERF damper has good performances of ride quality.

This paper deals with a robust semi-active control algorithm which is applicable to a semi-active suspension with a multi-state damper. Since the controllable damping rates are discrete in case of a multi-state semi-active damper, the desired damping rate can not be produced exactly even if force-velocity relations of a multi-state semi-active damper is completely known. In addition, damping characteristics of the semi-active dampers are different from damper to damper. A robust nonlinear control law based on sliding control is developed. The main objective of the proposed control strategies is to improve ride quality by tracking the desired active force with a multi-state damper of which the force-velocity relations are "not" completely known. The performance of th proposed semi-active control law is numerically compared to those of the control law based on a bilinear model and a passive suspension. The proposed control algorithm is robust to nonlinear characteristics and uncertainty of the force-Velocity relations of multi-state dampers.

Asymmetric cylinders are usually used as an actuator of active suspensions. The conventional optimal controller design does not include actuator dynamics as a state and force controller is needed to track the desired force. But the actuator is not ideal, so performance of an active suspension system is degraded. In this paper, we take account nonlinear actuator dynamics and obtain a linear model using a feedback linearization technique then apply optimal control method. Effectiveness of proposed method is demonstrated by numerical simulation of 1/4 car model.

The formation, microstructure and properties of novel ceramic composite materials manufactured by active-filler-controlled polymer pyrolysis were investigated. In the presence of active filler particles such as transition metals, bulk components of various geometry could be fabricated from siliconorganic polymer. Molybdenum- and tungsten-filled polymer suspensions were prepared and their conversion to ceramic composites by annealing in $CH_4$ atmosphere were studied. Dimensional change. porosity and phase distribution (filler network) were analyzed and correlated to the resulting hardness values. Molybdenum and tungsten as active filler were carburized completely to $Mo_2C$, $W_2C$ and WC in $CH_4$ atmosphere. Consequently, microcrystalline composites with the filler reaction products embedded in a silicon oxycarbide glass matrix were formed. Hardness was increased with increasing carburization and reached 8.6-9.5 GPa in the specimen pyrolyzed in $CH_4$ atmosphere.

This work evaluates the influence of negative stiffness on the performances of various vehicle suspension systems, and proposes a re-centering negative stiffness device (NSD). The re-centering NSD consists of a passive magnetic negative stiffness spring and a positioning shaft with a re-centering function. The former produces negative stiffness control forces, and the latter prevents the amplification of static spring deflection. The numerical simulations reveal that negative stiffness can improve the ride comfort of a vehicle without affecting its road holding abilities for either passive or semi-active suspension systems. In general, the improvement degree of ride comfort increases as negative stiffness increases. For passive suspension system, negative stiffness brings in negative stiffness feature in the control forces, which is helpful for the ride comfort of a vehicle. For semi-active suspensions, negative stiffness can alleviate the impact of clipped damping in semi-active dampers, and thus the ride comfort of a vehicle can be improved.

단감나무와 차나무의 표면에서 분리한 Pseudomonas syringae 2계통 PS8401, PS8402를 $2.5\%$ glycerol이 첨가된 nutrient agar에서 배양한 다음, 증류수로 세포현탁액($10^8$ colony forming unit/ml)을 조제하여 마이크로피펫법으로 동결온도를 측정하여 본 결과, 각각 -2.5와 $-3.8^{\circ}C$에서 동결하여 빙핵활성이 인정되었다. 한편 동일한 방법에 의한 증류수의 동결온도는 $-21.8^{\circ}C$였고 옥수수를 비롯한 8가지 작물즙액의 동결온도는 $-11.6^{\circ}C$ 이하였다. PS 8401의 nutrient broth 현탁액$(10^8\;cfu/ml)$을 살포한 옥수수유묘는 $-2^{\circ}C$에서부터 얼기 시작하여 $-4^{\circ}C$가 되면, 거의 전체 식물이 상해를 입었으나 nutrient broth만 살포한 대조구의 유묘는 온도가 $-9^{\circ}C$로 내려가기 전까지는 피해를 입지 않았다. PS8401 현탁액을 살포한 후 48시간에 측정한 유묘의 피해는 살포한 세균의 량이 증가함에 따라 심해지는 경향이었다. 상기 PS 8401의 빙핵활성은 현탁액내 세포의 수가 많아짐에 따라 증가하였으며 세균을 배양한 배지의 조성이 배양온도에 따라서도 빙핵활성이 변하였는데 $2.5\%$ glycerol 혹은 $2.5\%$ glucose를 첨가한 nutrient agar와 탄소원을 별도로 첨가하지 않은 nutrient agar에서 자란 세균현탁액$(10^2\;cfu/ml)$의 동결온도는 각각 -4.0, -4.4, $-7.2^{\circ}C$였고, 배지를 $2.5\%$ glycerol을 함유한 nutrient agar로 고정하고 온도를 달리하여 생육시킨 세균현탁액 $(10^2\;cfu/ml)$의 동결온도는 $-4.0^{\circ}C$(생육온도가 $15\~25^{\circ}C$인 경우)와 $-7.6^{\circ}C$(생육온도가 $30^{\circ}C$인 경우)였다.

Equations of motion for a 7 DOF full car model is developed in detail and used for the design of LQR based active suspension system. The frequency response to road disturbance input and the motion of a car passing unequal bumps were used to analyzed the dynamic characteristics of the 7 DOF full car with passive or active suspensions. The resulting linear equations of motion may be usefull in designing other types of active suspension.
