Semi-active Suspension Control provides an overview of vehicle ride
control employing smart semi-active damping systems (controlled
dissipative elements which only require low energy input). These
systems are able to tune the amount of damping in response to
measured vehicle-ride and handling indicators.
Two physically different dampers (magnetorheological and
controlled-friction) are analysed from the perspectives of
mechatronics and control. Ride comfort, road holding, road damage
and human-body modelling (nonlinear visceral response in
particular) are studied.
A multidisciplinary approach is adopted throughout the book.
Sound mathematical modelling is balanced by a large and detailed
section on experimental implementation, where a variety of
automotive applications are described offering a well-rounded view
of the application of such systems. The implementation of control
algorithms with regard to real-life engineering constraints is
emphasised.
The applications described include semi-active suspensions for a
saloon car, seat suspensions for vehicles not equipped with a
primary suspension, and control of heavy-vehicle dynamic-tyre loads
to reduce road damage and improve handling.
Engineers and practitioners working in noise and vibration;
automotive engineers working in vehicle design, research and
development; biomechanical engineers, physicists and
life-scientists interested in human-body responses to vibration;
and graduate students in vehicle studies, mechanics of vibration,
dynamics and control will find this book of material assistance in
their work.
