Control and Response Characteristics of a MR Fluid Damper for Passenger Vehicle

초록

This paper presents the vibration control of a vehicle suspension featuring MR shock absorbers. After manufacturing the damper, field-dependent damping forces are evaulated, followed by the formualtion of the control model for the vibration control. A skyhook controller is designed and experimentally implemented in order to evalute the vibration control performances. Both bump and randon excitations are adopted for the evaluation and HILS methodology is used to provide a practical feasibility.
