Continuously controlled semi-active suspension system may improve ride and handling properties. Here, as a mechanism to control the fluid flow solenoid valve mechanism is introduced and added to the basic passive damper to create damping forces of the shock absorbers. The system may produce continuously controlled damping forces in both solenoid valve only and combination with passive shock absorber including fluid flow is studied, and then the combined model is added to the full vehicle model to evaluate its ride and handling performance. Finally, the simulation results are compared to the vehicle models having similar suspension system.

The dynamic chracteristics of a two stage relief valve is studied theoretically and experimentally. The equations of motion of spools are derived and solved by digital compter simulation to find the stiability criteria.It is shown that the area of main spool head gives damping effect to the system and that the flow pressure-coefficient of the orifice in main spool is one of the most important parameters to determine stability and response. The experimental resuls are in good atreement with the theoretical results.
