“…Paulides et al (2006) used analytical and numerical resources to recommend a design of tubular linear damper for semi-active suspension systems. In addition, Hsieh et al (2016a, 2016b) and Huang et al (2015a, 2015b) implemented regenerative semi-active suspension systems with a DC rotary machine, and Amati et al (2006, 2011) and Tonoli et al (2013) designed and tested a rotating machine used as an electromechanical shock absorber for suspension systems. These articles suggest that due to the limited power density of linear machines, density of linear machines, rotary ones are usually chosen for active and semi-active suspension systems.…”

Purpose Semi-active suspension systems with electromagnetic dampers allow energy regeneration and the required control strategies are easier to implement than the active suspensions are. This paper aims to address the application of a tubular linear permanent magnet synchronous machine for a semi-active suspension system. Design/methodology/approach Classical rules of mechanics and electromagnetics were applied to describe a dynamic model combining vibration and electrical machines theories. A multifaceted MATLAB®/Simulink model was implemented to incorporate equations and simulate global performance. Experimental tests on an actual prototype were carried out to investigate displacement transmissibility of the passive case. In addition, simulation results were shown for the dissipative semi-active case. Findings The application of the developed model suggests convergent results. For the passive case, numerical and experimental outcomes validate the parameters and confirm system function and proposed methodology. MATLAB®/Simulink results for the semi-active case are consistent, showing an improvement on the displacement transmissibility. These agree with the initial conceptual thoughts. Originality/value The use of linear electromagnetic devices in suspension systems is not a novel idea. However, most published papers on this subject outline active solutions, neglect semi-active ones and focus on experimental studies. However, here a dynamic mechanical-electromagnetic coupled model for a semi-active suspension system is reported. This is in conjunction with a linear electromagnetic damper.

“…Furthermore, the energy-harvesting capability of the proposed dampers was tested under International Standardization Organization-defined road profile excitations. Bo Huang et al [21] created a vehicle suspension system with energy harvesting capabilities, and he proposes an analytical approach for the system's optimal design. The optimization approach gives design recommendations for estimating stiffness and damping coefficients with the goal of achieving the best performance in terms of ride comfort and energy regeneration.…”

The conventional vehicle suspension dissipates the mechanical vibration energy in the form of heat which waste considerable energy. The regenerative suspensions have attracted much attention in recent years for the improvement of vibration attenuating performance as well as the reduction of energy dissipation. In fact, the vibrations in some situations can be very large, for example, the vibrations of tall buildings, long vehicle systems, railroads and ocean waves. With the global concern on energy and environmental issues, energy harvesting from large-scale vibrations is more attractive. This paper introduces the existing research and significance of regenerative shock absorbers and reviews the potential of automotive vibration energy recovery techniques; then, it classifies and summarizes the general classifications of regenerative shock absorbers. Keywords: Mechanical vibration, regenerative suspension, energy dissipation, railroads, ocean waves, vehicle.

“…Huang et al [20] proposed a systematic methodology for predicting and optimizing the performance of an energy regeneration suspension system to efficiently capture the vibratory energy induced by the road irregularities. The method provided a graphic design guideline for the selection of stiffness and damping coefficients aimed at either best ride comfort or maximum energy harvesting.…”

To reduce energy consumption or improve energy efficiency, the regenerative devices recently have drawn the public's eyes. In this paper, a novel hydraulic energy-regenerative shock absorber (HERSA) is developed for vehicle suspension to regenerate the vibration energy which is dissipated by conventional viscous dampers into heat waste. At first, the schematic of HERSA is presented and a mathematic model is developed to describe the characteristic of HERSA. Then the parametric sensitivity analysis of the vibration energy is expounded, and the ranking of their influences is 1 ≫ 2 > 1 > 2 ≈ . Besides, a parametric study of HERSA is adopted to research the influences of the key parameters on the characteristic of HERSA. Moreover, an optimization of HERSA is carried out to regenerate more power as far as possible without devitalizing the damping characteristic. To make the optimization results more close to the actual condition, the displacement data of the shock absorber in the road test is selected as the excitation in the optimization. The results show that the RMS of regenerated energy is up to 107.94 W under the actual excitation. Moreover it indicates that the HERSA can improve its performance through the damping control.
