To improve comfort, a nonlinear suspension system is proposed on the basis of the nonlinear vibration isolation theory and the installation space of the cab suspension system for trucks. This system is suitable for all-floating cabs. For easy matching and design, the static and stability characteristics of the suspension system were analyzed, respectively, and the boundary condition for the stability of the system was given. Moreover, the cab simulation model was established, and the dynamic simulation was conducted. The stability analysis shows that the smaller the vibration excitation of the cab system, the higher its stability is. The dynamic simulation results show that the acceleration of the cab with the nonlinear suspension system is effectively suppressed; the dynamic deflection of the suspension is kept within a certain range, and the design space of the suspension stroke can be effectively utilized. Compared with the traditional linear suspension system, the nonlinear suspension system has better vibration isolation characteristics and can effectively improve ride comfort.

Two kinds of full-float tractor cab suspension systems based on double crank mechanism and double rocking bar mechanism respectively for a power tractor safety cab was designed. CAD model of the tractor with cab was modeled by using Pro/E. The model was import into ADAMS, and virtual prototype of the tractor with cab suspension system was established. When stiffness and damping of tyres were set fixed, two kinds of suspension system were mounted to the cab. The vibration isolation performance of the two kinds of tractor cab suspension system was studied respectively when stiffness of cab suspension system changed from 20 N/mm to 200N/mm. Both harmonic excitation and a random road roughness excitation were applied vertically to the places where the tyres were mounted. The random road roughness excitation was simulated by using MATLAB/simulink. The simulation results showed that the comfort of the full-float tractor cab with suspension based on double rocking bar mechanism was better than the cab with suspension based on double crank bar mechanism. Therefore, the analysis results provided a basis for designing mechanism of full-float cab suspension system for power tractors.

In a vibration isolation context, fractional derivative can be used to design suspensions which allow to obtain similar performances in spite of parameters uncertainties. This paper presents the synthesis and the achievement of a new Hydractive CRONE suspension system. After the study of the different constraint in suspension in the first paper, the ideal transfer function of the hydractive CRONE suspension is created and simulated in different case. Then a method to determine the technological parameters is proposed. A parallel arrangement of dissipative and capacitive components and a gamma arrangement are compared. They lead to the same unusual performances: the stability degree robustness and the rapidity robustness.

A three-parameter suspension system is often used for vibration isolation of sensitive devices especially in a space industry. This article describes the three-parameter suspension system with magnetorheological valve controlled by Skyhook algorithm. Simulations of such systems showed promising results. They, however, showed that the suspension performance is strongly influenced by magnetorheological valve response time. Results from simulations proved that the semiactive control of such system with response time of magnetorheological damper up to 4 ms outperforms any passive setting. The simulations were verified by an experiment on suspension system with magnetorheological valve with response time between 3.5 and 4.1 ms controlled by a Skyhook algorithm. Although the control algorithm was slightly modified in order to prevent instabilities of control loop caused by signal noise, the results from the experiment showed the same trends like the simulations.

Abstract This paper presents a novel solution for the posture control and ride comfort between the proposed wheel-legged robot (four wheel-legged robot (FWLR)) and the unstructured terrain by means of an actively passively transformable suspension system. Unlike most traditional robots, each leg of FWLR is independent of each other with a spring-damping system (passive system) is connected in series with an actuator (active system), so the posture control and ride comfort in complex terrain can be realized by the combination between active and passive systems. To verify the performance of posture control in complex terrain, a prototype and complex terrain are established first, then a posture control model, algorithm, and controller considering the suspension system are proposed and verified by the comparison between co-simulation and experiment, the results showed that the pitch angle and roll angles in complex terrain can be controlled. To show the impact of the actively passively transformable suspension system on ride comfort (vibration isolation performance), different dynamic models with different degree-of–freedom (DOF) are established, the co-simulation results showed that the passive system and active posture control system can also effectively improve the ride comfort of FWLR in complex terrain. The research results of this paper have important reference significance and practical value for enriching and developing the mechanism design and theoretical research of wheel-legged robot and promoting the engineering application of all-terrain robot.

In this study, the engine suspension system was optimized for making the vibration between engine and car body minimized, and also the optimization was simulated using software Adams. The purpose of this study was to research the vibration isolation of the engine mounting system and implement multi-objective optimization for the intrinsic frequency. In this paper, the optimization was implemented in two ways: (1) the intrinsic frequency was optimized by reasonably allocating it: (2) the intrinsic frequency was optimized using energy decoupling. The optimized intrinsic frequencies were simulated using software Adams and then the simulation results were compared. The simulation results showed that the optimized energy distribution was almost up to 90% and the decoupling degree was greatly improved by comparing the initial data, proving the optimized data played a greater effect on engine vibration isolation and further verifying the feasibility of optimization design method.
