As a two-terminal mechanical element, the inerter has been successfully applied in various mechanical fields, such as automotive engineering and civil engineering, for passive control and semiactive control. In this paper, a hydraulic electric inerter is considered an active device to suppress the vibration of a vehicle suspension system. The components and working principle of the hydraulic electric inerter are first introduced. On the basis of a force test of the hydraulic electric inerter, nonlinear factors such as friction, the damping force, and the elastic effect are analyzed, and parameter identification methods are adopted to identify the detailed parameters. A dynamic model of the vehicle suspension system employing a nonlinear hydraulic electric inerter is established, and the predictive controller is designed to further improve the vibration isolation performance of the suspension system. Numerical simulations show that the performance of the vehicle ISD (inerter-spring-damper) suspension system is significantly improved compared to the passive suspension. Finally, bench tests are carried out, and the advantages of vehicle ISD suspension are demonstrated. The RMS (root-mean-square) value of the vehicle body acceleration and the RMS value of the suspension working space are reduced by 16.1% and 8.9%, respectively.

Background: Vehicles generally travel on different road conditions, and withstand strong shock and vibration. In order to reduce or isolate the strong shock and vibration, it is necessary to propose and develop a high-performance vehicle suspension system. Objective: This study aims to report a pneumatic artificial muscle bionic kangaroo leg suspension to improve the comfort performance of vehicle suspension system. Methods: In summarizing the existing vehicle suspension systems and analyzing their advantages and disadvantages, this paper introduces a new patent of vehicle suspension system based on the excellent damping and buffering performance of kangaroo leg, A Pneumatic Artificial Muscle Bionic Kangaroo Leg Suspension. According to the biomimetic principle, the pneumatic artificial muscles bionic kangaroo leg suspension with equal bone ratio is constructed on the basis of the kangaroo leg crural index, and two working modes (passive and active modes) are designed for the suspension. Moreover, the working principle of the suspension system is introduced, and the rod system equations for the suspension structure are built up. The characteristic simulation model of this bionic suspension is established in Adams, and the vertical performance is analysed. Results: It is found that the largest deformation happens in the bionic heel spring and the largest angle change occurs in the bionic ankle joint under impulse road excitation, which is similar to the dynamic characteristics of kangaroo leg. Furthermore, the dynamic displacement and the acceleration of the vehicle body are both sharply reduced. Conclusion: The simulation results show that the comfort performance of this bionic suspension is excellent under the impulse road excitation, which indicates the bionic suspension structure is feasible and reasonable to be applied to vehicle suspensions.
