Optimisation of active suspension control inputs for improved vehicle handling performance

Active suspension is commonly considered under the framework of vertical vehicle dynamics control aimed at improvements in ride comfort. This paper uses a collocation-type control variable optimisation tool to investigate to which extent the fully active suspension (FAS) application can be broaden to the task of vehicle handling/cornering control. The optimisation approach is firstly applied to solely FAS actuator configurations and three types of double lane-change manoeuvres. The obtained optimisation results are used to gain insights into different control mechanisms that are used by FAS to improve the handling performance in terms of path following error reduction. For the same manoeuvres the FAS performance is compared with the performance of different active steering and active differential actuators. The optimisation study is finally extended to combined FAS and active front- and/or rear-steering configurations to investigate if they can use their complementary control authorities (over the vertical and lateral vehicle dynamics, respectively) to further improve the handling performance.     

Vehicle dynamics control by using a three-dimensional stabilizer pendulum system

Active safety systems of a vehicle normally work well on tyre–road interactions, however, these systems deteriorate in performance on low-friction road conditions. To combat this effect, an innovative idea for the yaw moment and roll dynamic control is presented in this paper. This idea was inspired by the chase and run dynamics animals like cheetahs in the nature; cheetahs have the ability to swerve while running at very high speeds. A cheetah controls its dynamics by rotating its long tail. A three-dimensional stabilizer pendulum system (3D-SPS) resembles the rotational motion of the tail of a cheetah to improve the stability and safety of a vehicle. The idea has been developed in a stand-alone 3D stabilizer pendulum system as well as in an integrated control system, which consists of an ordinary differential braking direct yaw control (DYC) and active steering control that is assisted by the 3D-SPS. The performance of the proposed 3D-SPS has been evaluated over a wide range of handling manoeuvres by using a comprehensive numerical simulation. The results show the advantage of 3D-SPS over conventional control approaches, which are ineffective on low-friction road conditions and high lateral acceleration manoeuvres. It should however be noted that the best vehicle dynamics performance is obtained when an integrated 3D-SPS and DYC and AFS is utilised.     

船舶柴油机转速的线性自抗扰控制

船舶柴油机推进系统包含非线性、时变参数以及柴油机-推进轴系-螺旋桨之间的强耦合作用,难以建立精确的数学模型,且易受到螺旋桨负载扰动的影响,不利于船舶柴油机转速的实时准确控制。针对此问题,将线性自抗扰控制（Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control,LADRC）技术应用于船舶柴油机的转速控制系统。首先,基于平均值建模方法建立了某大型低速二冲程船舶柴油机的模型,并分析了转速控制中的不确定因素;然后,针对柴油机的转速控制问题设计了二阶LADRC控制器;最后,以船舶柴油机平均值模型为载体对LADRC的控制性能进行仿真测试,并与经过遗传算法优化的PI控制器进行对比。仿真结果表明,在负载扰动及模型参数改变的情况下LADRC表现出良好的控制性能,并且比PI控制具有更优的扰动抑制能力和鲁棒性。
