Overview

Semi-active Suspension Control provides an overview of vehicle ride control employing smart semi-active damping systems. 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 are studied. 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. 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.

Reviews

From the reviews: This book provides an overview of vehicle ride control employing smart semi-active damping systems. ! The book can be fruitful reading for mechanical engineering students (at both undergraduate and postgraduate level) interested in vehicle dynamic, electrical and control engineering students ! . It should be valuable reading for R&D and design engineers working in the automotive industry and automotive consultants. It can be of interest also to engineers, physicists and applied mathematicians working in the board area of noise and vibration control ! . (George S. Stavrakakis, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1160, 2009)
