An improved model of the active suspension system is proposed. Compared with the existing model of active suspension system, the dynamics of a hydraulic actuator in the active suspension system is fully considered in the proposed model. Based on the proposed model, a sliding-mode control method is designed to control the active suspension system. Stability proof and analysis of the closed-loop system of the active suspension is given by using Lyapunov stability theory. At last, the reliability and feasibility of the proposed sliding-mode control method are evaluated by computer simulation. Simulation research shows that the proposed sliding-mode control method can obtain good control performance for the active suspension system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
