This research aims at the vibration control of vehicle seat suspension system. A three degree of freedom quarter vehicle model is used for semi-active control system in which a magnetorheological damper (MRD) is installed at the position between the vehicle body and the seat. A fully active linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control strategy is used to determine the optimized control force which is then matched by MRD to compute the semi-active control result. Computation result proves that semi-active control with MRD can alleviate the vehicle seat acceleration to improve ride comfort. Introduction There are three types of vehicle suspension systems, namely passive control suspension system, active control suspension system, and semi-active control suspension system[1]. In passive suspension system, the stiffness and damping parameters are TI - Semi-Active Control of Vehicle Seat Suspension System with Magnetorheological Damper JF - Advanced Engineering Forum DO - 10.4028/www.scientific.net/aef.2-3.1067 DA - 2011-12-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/semi-active-control-of-vehicle-seat-suspension-system-with-aKDyEdsI68 DP - DeepDyve ER -
