DESIGN AND TEST STUDY OF A NEW MIXED CONTROL METHOD FOR MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL SEMI-ACTIVE SUSPENSION BASED ON ELECTROMECHANICAL ANALOGY THEORY.

For pursuing high performance, the development of semi-active suspension control tends to be complicated and ignores practicability. A new mixed control method effectively suppressing vibration of the vehicle body in the whole frequency band is proposed based on electromechanical analogy theory. Simulation results show that in comparison with passive suspension, on a long slope bumpy road, the mixed control reduces body acceleration by 21.49% and the maximum amplitude by 22.40%. On a C class road, the mixed control reduces body acceleration by 9.78%. Finally, an ECU hardware-in-the-loop test is conducted, which verifies the effectiveness and feasibility of the new mixed control method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
