Owing to the presence of nonlinear elements of a vehicle, when the vehicle goes through a rough-road-surface, such as consecutive speed control humps (SCHs), unexpected vibrations will exist in vehicle suspension systems, such as chaos, bifurcation, and quasi-periodic so on. In this paper, we first study the possibility of chaotic vibration of the seven degree-of-freedom (7-DOF) full vehicle model under consecutive SCHs on the highway. Then, a non-chattering sliding mode control method is proposed. The effectiveness of the sliding mode control method for the nonlinear vibration control of the vehicle suspension model is verified by numerical simulation. By comparing the changes in the vibration amplitude of the vehicle in the same velocity region before and after the control, we determine whether the ride comfort is improved. The results show that not only is the system’s chaos vibration effectively controlled, but also the ride comfort is significantly improved. The results can be applied in the design of a vehicle and in pavement of road humps.

A seven-degrees-of-freedom full vehicle model is used to design a robust controller and to investigate the performance of active suspensions without losing the suspension working space. Zero reference for vehicle body displacement finishes suspension working distance. Thus, a new approach is suggested in this paper. Force actuators are placed parallel to the suspensions and non-chattering sliding mode control is applied. Since any change in vehicle parameters because of different load or road conditions adversely affects the performance of the ordinary control methods, a robust control method is preferred. To obtain the desired improvement in ride comfort, we aim to decrease the magnitudes of the body vibrations and their accelerations. We present body bounce, pitch and roll motions of the vehicle with the conventional approach and the proposed approach without suspension gap loss, both in the time domain in the case of traveling over a step road profile and in the frequency domain. The results of both approaches are compared. The solution to the suspension gap loss problem has also been presented on periodic road surfaces. At the end of the paper, we discuss the improvement in the performance of the new controller with its robust behavior and the advantage of the new approach.

This paper presented a new control strategy for active suspension of nonlinear quarter-vehicle model. An active suspension controller designed for using sliding mode control with noise filtering. The Kalman filter (KF) predicted the state response of the nonlinear one-quarter automobile model, and the estimated values used for the design of the active control force. Finally, the shock absorption performance compared with the LQR controller and the passive suspension. The simulation results showed that the control method significantly improve the ride performance and safety of the vehicle.

According to the operation characteristics of high clearance self-propelled sprayer, an independent vertical shaft air suspension system with auxiliary chamber was designed. On the basis of the damping characteristic analysis and experiment of the air suspension with auxiliary chamber, the sprayer suspension control strategy was developed. Aiming at strong non-linearity and hysteresis for air suspension with auxiliary chamber, and when the sprayer performed road transportation and spraying operation, there was a contradiction between ride comfort and road friendliness, a hybrid sliding mode control method for sprayer chassis suspension based on skyhook reference sliding mode and ground-hook reference sliding mode was proposed. Finally, Matlab/Simulink was used to analyse the effect of the control method in different mixing coefficients. The simulation results showed that according to the requirements of different working conditions of the sprayer, by properly selecting the mixing coefficient γ value, the hybrid sliding mode control could simultaneously take into account the sprayer ride comfort and road friendliness, which was important to improve the sprayer overall performance and operating efficiency.

Background: A novel type of control strategy is presented for control of chaotic systems particularly a chaotic robot in joint and workspace which is the result of applying fractional calculus to dynamic sliding mode control. Objectives: To guarantee the sliding mode condition, control law is introduced based on the Lyapunov stability theory. Methods: A control scheme is proposed for reducing the chattering problem in finite time tracking and robust in presence of system matched disturbances. Conclusion: Also, all of chaotic robot's qualitative and quantitative characteristics have been investigated. Numerical simulations indicate viability of our control method. Results: Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the chaotic robot are all proven to be viable thru simulations.

A piston piezoelectric (PZT) pump has many advantages for the use of light actuators. How to deal with the contradiction between the intermittent oil supplying and position control precision is essential when designing the controller. In order to accurately control the output of the actuator, a backstepping sliding-mode control method based on the Lyapunov function is introduced, and the controller is designed on the basis of establishing the mathematical model of the system. The simulation results show that, compared with fuzzy PID and ordinary sliding-mode control, backstepping sliding-mode control has a stronger anti-jamming ability and tracking performance, and improves the control accuracy and stability of the piezoelectric pump-controlled actuator system.
