Skyhook and H8 Control of Semi-active Suspensions: Some Practical Aspects

Summary This paper deals with single-wheel suspension car model. We aim to prove the benefits of controlled semi-active suspensions compared to passive ones. The contribution relies on H 8 control design to improve comfort and road holding of the car under industrial specifications, and on control validation through simulation on an exact nonlinear model of the suspension. Note that we define semi-active suspensions as control systems incorporating a parallel spring and an electronically controlled damper. However, the type of damper used in automotive industry can only dissipate energy. No additional force can be generated using external energy. The control issue is then to change, in an accurate way, the damping (friction) coefficient in real-time. This is what we call semi-active suspension. For this purpose, two control methodologies, H 8 and Skyhook control approaches, are developed, using a linear model of the suspension, and compared in terms of performances using industrial specifications. The performance analysis is done using the control-oriented linear model first, and then using an exact nonlinear model of the suspension incorporating the nonlinear characteristics of the suspension spring and damper.

Active Suspensions Based on Fast Load Levelers

A class of active suspensions is presented which provides near optimum isolation of base motion as well as zero static deflection for force disturbances using a simple type of feedback. The load leveling effect is rapid with the system stabilized using isolated mass velocity feedback both for a semi-active damper and for the load leveler. The system can be made energy conservative and fail safe since the system reverts to a reasonable passive isolator if the load leveling effect and even if the active damping effect is switched off. The system could be incorporated in automotive vehicles with some extension of the feedback control to account for several aspects of body motion.

Observer Design for Semi-Active Suspension Control

This paper presents an observer for automotive semi-active suspension control. Automotive suspensions are disturbance affected dynamic systems and semi-active suspensions can be represented as a bilinear model. An observer for semi-active suspensions is formulated such that the estimation error is independent of unknown external disturbance. The proposed observer uses easily accessible measurements such as accelerations and guarantees exponentially convergent state estimation for suspension deflections and velocities. Absolute sprung mass and unsprung mass velocities can be estimated using the proposed observer. Simulations and experimental rig tests show that all states of a semi-active suspension can be estimated only with acceleration measurements. The estimated states are used to improve ride quality in a semi-active suspension.
