Classification of Vehicle Suspension System • Passive: Parallel arrangement between passive damper and spring • Semi-active: Parallel arrangement between adjustable damper and spring • Slow Active: Parallel arrangement between passive damper, spring and force generation device • Active: Parallel arrangement between spring and force generation device • Fully Active: Force generation device only
Passive damper: unable to generate force, able to dissipate energy at a constant rate • Semi-active damper: unable to generate force, able to dissipate energy at a variable rate - Variable orifice - Variable fluid viscosity • Force generation device: able to generate external force to oppose unwanted motion of vehicle - Hydraulic actuator - Pneumatic system
Force generation devices Hydraulic: - expensive - suitable for precision control Pneumatic: - cheaper - more difficult to control due to springing effect of air
Outer loop control / vehicle control: used to compute the ideal target force to cancel out unwanted vibratory motions of a vehicle • Inner loop control / actuator control: used to control the actuator in such a way that the actuator will produce the actual force as close as possible with the target force • Vehicle states: position and speed of sprung and un-sprung masses
Outer Loop Controller / Vehicle Controller Some well-known approaches for outer loop controller: - skyhook - groundhook - hybrid skyhook groundhook
