| Summary: | In this paper computer simulation is used to study the performance of an automobile
suspension system. The effect of tyre stiffness and unsprung mass on the performance
in terms of riders comfort and the maximum working space requirement of the
suspension system are also studied. Next, simple "on-off" semi-active control rules are
applied to the damper. These rules have been able to reduce the maximum working
space required when compared to the passive suspension system. But, in terms of
riders comfort the passive system is more superior. Finally, modified control rules are
introduced and comparison on the performance and working space requirement are
made with the suspension systems mentioned earlier. In general, the modified control
rules have been able to increase riders comfort but larger working space are
required |
