As the vibration of high speed train becomes fierce when the train runs at high speed, it is crucial to develop a novel suspension system to negotiate train’s vibration. This paper presents a novel suspension based on Magnetorheological fluid (MRF) damper and MRF based smart air spring. The MRF damper is used to generate variable damping while the smart air spring is used to generate field-depe...

In this paper the importance of self tuning adaptive PID control scheme for automotive suspension system is explained. The objective of this study is to obtain a mathematical model for the passive and semi-active suspension system for quarter car model. Current automobile suspension system employs springs and damper with fixed coefficient. Vehicle suspension systems are typically rated by their...

This paper investigates the GENSIS air spring suspension system equivalence to a passive suspension system. The SIMULINK simulation together with the OptiY optimization is used to obtain the air spring suspension model equivalent to passive suspension system, where the car body response difference from both systems with the same road profile inputs is used as the objective function for optimiza...

Self-suspension is becoming an increasingly prominent characteristic in real-time systems such as: (i) I/O-intensive systems (ii) multi-core processors, and (iii) computation offloading systems with coprocessors, like Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). In this paper, we study the schedulability of multisegment self-suspension tasks under fixed-priority scheduling, where the executions of a multi...

This note presents a unified framework to derive nonlinear state and output feedback controllers for magnetically levitated (Maglev) vehicles with controlled dc electromagnets, referred to as electromagnetic suspension systems. The theoretical exposition, based on the Taylor series expansion solution to the Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaacs inequality, is followed by an assessment of some of the practical...

This paper demonstrates the possibility to detect suspension failures of railway vehicles using a multiple-model approach from on-board measurement data. The railway vehicle model used includes the lateral and yaw motions of the wheelsets and bogie, and the lateral motion of the vehicle body, with sensors measuring the lateral acceleration and yaw rate of the bogie, and lateral acceleration of ...
