This paper prosed modelling and design method in suspension system sesign to analyze sky hook damper system by adopting active suspension control theory. Recent in the field of suspension system design it is general to adopt active control scheme for stiffness and damping, and connection with other vehicle stability control equipment is also intricate, it is required for control system scheme to design more robust, higher response and precision control equipment. It is hon that sky hook suspension system is better than passive spring-damper system in designing suspension equipment. We analyze location of damper in sky hook system and its motion equation then design robust control system. Numerical example is shown for validity of robust control system design in active sky hook suspension system.

This paper proposed a theoretic numerical modelling in control system design to analyze active suspension equipment by adopting minimum phase system theory. Recent in the field of suspension system design it is general to adopt active control scheme for stiffness and damping, and connection with other vehicle stability control equipment is also intricate, it is required for control system scheme to design more robust, higher response and precision control equipment. Transfer matrices of system with collocated sensors and actuators are symmetric. The symmetry is independent of the entities of mass, damping, or stiffness matrices, and is a non parametric nature. From this point of view, symmetric robust control system is analyzed and designed in this paper. Numerical example is shown for validity of robust control system design.

기술의 발달과 생활환경의 고급화로 인해서 자동차 탑승자의 주행 안락감에 대한 욕구와 기대감이 높아지고 있어 자동차를 개발하는 데 중요한 요소가 되었다. Karnopp외 2인에 의해 제안된 스카이훅(sky-hook) 현가이론은 능동/반능동 현가장치와 관련하여 잘 알려진 제어알고리즘으로 노면의 외란에 의한 차체의 수직가속도를 줄이기 위해서 가상적인 기준면을 공증에 설정하고 차체와 가상의 기준면 사이에 감쇠기론 설치하는 개념이다. 기존의 스카이훅 현가이론을 비롯한 일반적인 제어에서는 고주파 성분의 제어 상태 파라미터들로 인하여 발생한 과도한 제어입력과 그에 따르는 제어의 비효율성이 존재하고 있다.(중략)

In recent years, lots of studies on the planetary rover systems have been performed around space advanced agencies such as NASA, ESA, JAXA, etc. Among the various technologies for the planetary rover system, the mobility system, navigation algorithm, and scientific payload have been focused particularly. In this paper, the conceptual design for a ground-based model of planetary rover's mobility system to evaluate mobility and moving stability on ground is presented. The status of overseas research and development of the planetary rover systems is also addressed in terms of technical issues. And then, the requirements of the planetary rover's mobility system are derived by means of considering mobility and stability. The designed rover's mobility system has an active suspension with 6 legs that controls 6 joints on the each leg in order to achieve high stability and mobility. This kind of mobility system has already applied to the ATHELE of NASA for various purposes such as transportation and habitation for human lunar exploration activities in the near future (i.e., Constellation program). However, the proposed system has been designed by focusing on the small-sized unmanned explorations, which may be applied for the future Korea Lunar exploration missions. Therefore, we expect that this study will be an useful reference and experience in order to develop the planetary exploration rover system in Korea.
