Full Car Active Damping System for Vibration Control

Abstract

Full car passive and active damping system mathematical model was developed. Computer simulation using MATLAB was performed and analyzed. Two different road profile were used to check the performance of the passive and active damping using Linear Quadratic Regulator controller (LQR)Road profile 1 has three bumps with amplitude of 0.05m, 0.025 m and 0.05 m. Road profile 2 has a bump with amplitude of 0.05 m and a hole of -0.025 m. For all the road profiles, there were 100% amplitude reduction in Wheel displacement, Wheel deflection, Suspension travel and body displacement, and 97.5% amplitude reduction in body acceleration for active damping with LQR controller as compared to the road profile and 54.0% amplitude reduction in body acceleration as compared to the passive damping system. For the two road profiles, the settling time for all the observed parameters was less than two (2) seconds. The present work gave faster settling time for mass displacement, body acceleration and wheel displacement.

“…The innovations in MOS technology have enabled the reduction of power consumption in chips while simultaneously enhancing the efficiency of logic and memory functions [23]. On the other hand, the concept of a wireless sensor network allows remote monitoring and data processing [24]. This latter, related to complex and distributed automobiles, has been able to substantially develop, thanks to these technical advances [25].…”
