In this paper, a control system is designed for a vehicle active suspension system. In particular, a novel terminal sliding-mode-based fault-tolerant control strategy is presented for the control problem of a nonlinear quarter-car suspension model in the presence of model uncertainties, unknown external disturbances, and actuator failures. The adaptation algorithms are introduced to obviate the need for prior information of the bounds of faults in actuators and uncertainties in the model of the active suspension system. The finite-time convergence of the closed-loop system trajectories is proved by Lyapunov's stability theorem under the suggested control method. Finally, detailed simulations are presented to demonstrate the efficacy and implementation of the developed control strategy.

Abstract This paper investigates a reference control strategy for Vehicle semi-active suspension. The control is conducted by following the idea optimal active controller. The passive actuator is set to optimal whenever the active and passive actuators have the same signs; and set to zero output whenever the two signs are opposite. The simulation results of a 2DoF vehicle show that the semi -active suspension system can follow the ideal active system very well, both are superior to conventional passive systems. In this paper, a 2DoF vehicle model was also used to study a statistical optimal control strategy of the semi-active suspension system. The statistical optimal concept is the result of the combination of the nonlinear programming and controllable damper. A way of estimating statistical characteristics of road irregularities was also proposed. Vehicle active, suspension, due to its perfect v i bra t i on isolation performance, gets moreand more attention. Active suspension can be generally divided into two categories, totally active suspension system and semi-active suspension system. From the published results it is known that active suspension can surpass the performance limit of conventional passive suspension and greatly improve the vehicle riding comfort and steering ability. But active suspension has a critical disadvantage of less applicability, due to its high cost and low reliability. Also it consumes large amount of energy as it works. The idea of semi-active suspension was put forward to overcome the shortcoming of active suspension. It is a compromise between active suspension and passive suspension. Semi-active suspension has approximately the same behavior as active suspension, and almost consumes no energy as it works. So semi-active suspension possesses a great potential in application. At. present, in the field of suspension research over the world, a great deal of attention is paied to semi-active suspension. At present, for the cotrol of semi-active suspension the widely studied strategy is “on off” control [1] [2], which is first put forward by Karnopp. “On-off” control can eliminate the phenomenon of vibration amplification for passive suspension, thus it can improve the suspension performance to certain extent. At present, no substantive result has been obtained yet in the field of optimal control of semi-active suspension. This paper will investigate a reference control strategy on the basis of linear optimal control. The control is conducted by following the optimal ctive controller. The referrence control result is optimal when the outputs of the active and semi-active force generators have the same signs.

For the purpose of anti-puncture and lightweight, a new type of mechanical elastic wheel (MEW) is constructed. However, the large radial stiffness of MEW has a negative effect on ride comfort. To make up for the disadvantage, this paper proposes a novel control strategy consisting of backstepping control and integral sliding-mode control, considering the uncertainties of active suspension and MEW. First, an active suspension system matching MEW is established, discussing the impact of uncertainties. The nonlinear radial characteristic of MEW is fitted based on the previous experiment results. Then, in order to derive ideal motions, an ideal suspension system combining sky-hook and ground-hook damping control is introduced. Next, ignoring the nonlinear characteristics and external random disturbance, a backstepping controller is designed to track ideal variables. Combined with the backstepping control law, an integral sliding-mode control strategy is given, further taking parameter uncertainty and external disturbance into account. To tackle chattering problem, an adaptive state variable matrix is applied. By using Lyapunov stability theory, the whole scheme proves to be robust and convergent. Finally, co-simulations with Carsim and MATLAB/Simulink are carried out. By analyzing the simulation results, it can be concluded that the vehicle adopting backstepping sliding-mode control performs best, with excellent real-time performance and robustness.

This article deals with the control problem of 7-degrees of freedom full-car suspension system which takes into account the spring-damper nonlinearities, unmodeled dynamics and external disturbances. The existing active disturbance rejection control uses an extended state observer to estimate the “total disturbance” and eliminate it with state error feedback. In this article, a new type of active disturbance rejection control is developed to improve the ride comfort of full car suspension systems taking into account the suspension nonlinearities and actuator saturation. The proposed controller combines active disturbance rejection control and fuzzy sliding mode control and is called Fuzzy Sliding Mode active disturbance rejection control. To validate the system mathematical model and analyze the controller performance, a virtual prototype is built in Adams. The simulation results demonstrate better performance of Fuzzy Sliding Mode active disturbance rejection control compared to the existing active disturbance rejection control.
