Inerters have become a hot topic in recent years especially in vehicle, train, building suspension systems, etc. Eight different layouts of suspensions were analyzed with a quarter-car model in this paper. Dimensionless root mean square (RMS) responses of the sprung mass vertical acceleration, the suspension travel, and the tire deflection are derived which were used to evaluate the performance of the quarter-car model. The behaviour of semi-active suspensions with inerters using Groundhook, Skyhook, and Hybrid control has been evaluated and compared to the performance of passive suspensions with inerters. Sensitivity analysis was applied to the development of a high performance semi-active suspension with an inerter. Numerical simulations indicate that a semi-active suspension with an inerter has much better performance than the passive suspension with an inerter, especially with the Hybrid control method, which has the best compromise between comfort and road holding quality.

Traditionally, a quarter-car model and a sky-hook controller are employed to derive analytical expressions that describe conditions for self-powered operation. The main contribution of this work consists in using a seven degree of freedom vehicle model to determine numerically the condition for self-powered operation of an active suspension system with electromagnetic actuators. The performance of proportional–integral–derivative, linear quadratic regulator, and fuzzy Logic suspension controllers that employ feedback information for heave, pitch, and roll motion is evaluated under self-powered operation. An objective function consisting of a weighted sum of performance measures, including root mean square values for accelerations, road holding, actuator travel, and power regeneration capability, is used to determine equivalent actuator damping values and controller gains that enhance self-powered operation. The resulting optimal designs for each control strategies are compared by means of frequency responses to evaluate their performance and power regeneration capability, as well as to determine the effect of self-powered operation on these characteristics. This investigation shows that the performance of a self-powered active suspension systems, based on heave, pitch, and roll motion information, can be optimized to approach that of an active suspension system with external power supply; the degree of degradation depends on the particular suspension controller and the design objectives that are adopted. The performance improvement compared to a suspension system designed using a quarter car model and a sky-hook controller is also presented.

And Performance

A suspension system is one of the integral parts of a hyperloop capsule train, which is used to isolate the car-body from bogie vibration to provide a safer and comfortable service. A semi-active suspension system is one of the best candidates for its advantageous features. The performance of a semi-active suspension system relies greatly on the control strategy applied. In this article, Skyhook (SH) and mixed Skyhook-Acceleration Driven Damper (SH-ADD) controlling algorithms are adopted for a nonlinear quarter-car model of a capsule with semi-active magnetorheological damper. The nonlinear vertical dynamic response and performance of the proposed control algorithms are evaluated under MATLAB Simulink environment and hardware-in-loop-system (HILS) environment. The SH controlled semi-active suspension system performance is found to be better at the first resonance frequency and worse at the second resonance frequency than the passive MR damper, but the mixed SH-ADD controlled semi-active suspension system performs better than the passive at all frequency domains. Taking the root-mean-square (RMS) value of sprung mass vertical displacement as an evaluation criterion, the response is reduced by 58.49% with mixed SH-ADD controller and by 54.49% with the SH controller compared to the passive MR damper suspension.
