This paper investigates the problem of stability analysis and fuzzy-smith compensation control for semi-active suspension systems with time delay. The dynamic system of the suspension system with time delay is first formulated in terms of control objectives, such as ride comfort, road handling, and suspension deflection. By using the Lyapunov stability analysis, the necessary and sufficient con...

A half-car model with four DOF was established to simulate the system. On the basis of this model, Selfadapt Parameters Fuzzy-PID control method of the active suspension system is described. In such a model, vehicle speed, vehicle body vertical acceleration, suspension dynamic deflection, the body vertical acceleration and suspension dynamic deflection integrated feedback were used respectively...

In this paper, an iterative technique is proposed to solve linear integrated active/passive design problems. The optimality of active and passive parts leads to the nonlinear algebraic Riccati equation due to the active parameters and some associated additional Lyapunov equations due to the passive parameters. Rather than the solution of the nonlinear algebraic Riccati equation, it is proposed ...

In previous studies, active suspension system in conventional powertrain systems was investigated. This paper presents the application of active suspension system in parallel hybrid electric vehicles as a novel idea. The main motivation for this study is investigation of the potential advantages of this application over the conventional one. For this purpose, a simultaneous simulation is develo...

An active suspension system has been proposed to improve the ride comfort. A quarter-car 2 degree-of-freedom (DOF) system is designed and constructed on the basis of the concept of a four-wheel independent suspension to simulate the actions of an active vehicle suspension system. The purpose of a suspension system is to support the vehicle body and increase ride comfort. The aim of the work des...

The purpose of suspension system in automobiles is to improve the ride comfort and road handling. In this research the ride and handling performance of a specific automobile with passive suspension system is compared to a proposed fuzzy logic semi active suspension system designed for that automobile. The bodysuspension-wheel system is modeled as a two degree of freedom quarter car model. MATLA...

Abstract Optical activity, also called circular birefringence, is known for two hundred years, but its applications topological photonics remain unexplored. Unlike the Faraday effect, optical activity provokes rotation of linear polarization light without magnetic effects, thus preserving time-reversal symmetry. In this work, we report a direct measurement Berry curvature and quantum metric pho...

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...

A skyhook surface sliding mode control method was proposed and applied to the control on the semi-active vehicle suspension system for its ride comfort enhancement. A two degree of freedom dynamic model of a vehicle semi-active suspension system was given, which focused on the passenger’s ride comfort performance. A simulation with the given initial conditions has been devised in MATLAB/SIMULIN...

To improve the vehicle performance such as ride comfort and road handling, the active suspension system should be used. However, the current active suspension system has a high energy consumption therefore reducing the fuel economy. In this paper the vibration excited by road unevenness is treated as a source of mechanical energy. It is being converted into electrical energy to compensate for t...
