Primary suspension is the term used for suspension components connecting the wheel assemblies of a vehicle to the frame of the vehicle (Fig.1). This is in contrast to the suspension components connecting the frame and body of the vehicle, or those components located directly at the vehicle’s seat, commonly called the secondary suspension. Usually a vehicle contains both primary and secondary su...

1. Abstract In recent years, a compliant mechanism has been paid to attention as a new mechanism to replace a traditional rigid link mechanism and the use of compliant mechanisms in mechanical products, medical instruments and MEMS can be expected to increase. In our previous research, we focused on a vehicle suspension as a promising application target of a compliant mechanism and proposed an ...

in suspension polymerization, particle size distribution of polymer is the outcome of dynamic equilibrium between the break up and coalescence phenomena. the rates of break up and coalescence and consequently polymerization stability depend on several parameters, the most important of which are type and concentration of stabilizer. in this study, the effects of type and concentration of stabili...

and damper do not provide energy to the suspension system and control only the motion of the car body and wheel by limiting the suspension velocity according to the rate determined by the designer, T~ the above problem, active suspension systems have been proposed by various [3,4,51. Active suspension systems dynamically respond to changes in the road profile because of their ability to supply ...

A substantial body of research supports a dual-process theory of moral judgment, according to which characteristically deontological judgments are driven by automatic emotional responses, while characteristically utilitarian judgments are driven by controlled cognitive processes. This theory was initially supported by neuroimaging and reaction time (RT) data. McGuire et al. have reanalyzed thes...

The servo control design for a piezo-electric dual-stage instrumented suspension to achieve windage vibration reduction for high track density recording is presented in this paper. The servo design exploits the information available from both the sampled position error signal (PES) and a continuous time instrumented suspension signal (ISS) available from an instrumented suspension. The ISS from...

A vehicle active suspension system, in comparison with its counterparts, plays a crucial role in adequately guarantee the stability of the vehicle and improve the suspension performances. With a full understanding of the state of the art in vehicle control systems, this thesis identifies key issues in robust control design for active suspension systems with uncertainty, contributes to enhance t...

The suspension module control system model has been established based on MIMO (multiple input and multiple output) state feedback linearization. We have completed decoupling between double suspension points, and the new decoupling method has been applied to CMS04 magnetic suspension vehicle in national mid-low-speed maglev experiment field of Tangshan city in China. Double suspension system mod...

This study analyzes effects of vibrations on comfort and road holding capability of vehicles as observed in variations of suspension springs, road roughness etc. Also, design of non-linear experimental car suspension system for ride qualities using neural networks is presented. Proposed active suspension system has been found more effective in vibration isolation of car body than linear active ...
