AbstractThe present paper undertakes kinematic and dynamic analysis of front suspension system. The investigated model is a full-scale Macpherson which is a multibody system. Two degree of freedom model is considered here to illustrate the vertical displacement of sprung mass and unsprung mass with using displacement matrix. Ride and handling parameters including displacement of sprung and unsprung masses, camber/caster angle, and track changes are derived from the relationships. Moreover, geometrical model and equations are validated by Adams/Car software. The kinematic and dynamic results have been compared in both analytical and numerical outputs for verification. The proposed analytical model shows less than 5% differences with a complicated multibody model.

Abstract In this paper, a modified skyhook control for the semi-active Macpherson suspension system is investigated. A new model for the Macpherson type suspension, which incorporates the rotational motion of the unsprung mass, is introduced and a feedback control law utilizing the modified skyhook control strategy is derived. Also, two filters to estimate the absolute velocity of the sprung mass and the relative velocity of the rattle space are designed. For testing the control performance, the actual damping force has been included in the hardware-in-the-loop simulations. The control performances of the semi-active system and a passive one have been compared. HILS results are provided.

Abstract In the present paper, an efficient numerical algorithm for the kinematic analysis of the multi-loop MacPherson Strut suspension system is formulated. The suspension system is usually used for front as well as axles of current car productions. The spatial two-DOF multi-loop MacPherson Strut suspension mechanism contains all types of basic kinematic joints; revolute, prismatic, and spherical joints. The kinematic analysis is carried out in terms of the rectangular Cartesian coordinates of some defined points in the links and at the joints. The presented formulation in terms of this system of coordinates is simple and involves · only elementary mathematics. A numerical example is presented.
