It is important that proving ground damage is correlated with target customer usage. This paper describes the test mode for durability test of active suspension control system for proving ground correlation and optimization. Acceleration, strain, wheel force and other types of data are collected on a vehicle as it traverses different proving ground surfaces. The primary objective of the analysis is to determine which mixture of proving ground surfaces offers the best representation of customer usage while minimizing the total test time. And durability testing offers the best way to assess the capability of a product to reach its reliability target. The test should be representative of the real environmental load and replicate the same customer usage.

Driving safety of a vehicle is largely influenced by the damper and the tire. Developed in this research is a fault diagnosis algorithm for the two components so that the driver can be promptly informed when fault occurs in one or both of them. To this end, the damper and the tire were modeled using the neural network from their experimental data, and fault diagnosis was made using frequency responses of the damping force and the dynamic wheel force. The algorithm was tested via experiments, and it demonstrated successful diagnostic performance under various driving conditions.

Performance test result on prototype car equipped with low-band type active suspension system is reported. Control theory is explained first. Simulation for feasibility and parameter tuning, control module test using hydraulic exciter and test run, and performance evaluation of the test car on test track are reported successively. Emphasis was put on modification of control theory which caused many unexpected problems in actual implementation.

Low-band type active suspension system is implemented on a passenger car. Level. roll, pitch and bouncing motion of body are controlled by a digital controller. Sky-hook damper is applied to control bouncing motion. This paper describes overall construction of the system, design of hydraulic system, sensor system, controller, and control scheme. Performance of prototype car has been evaluated on a test track and reported in the second paper.

In the determination of control laws of semi-active suspension system, optimal control theory is applied, which used in the design of fully active suspension system and in the performance index sense. Optimal semi-active control laws are designed, and the computer program is developed fur estimation of performance In the time and frequency domain. It is certified that in the semi-active control system, it is desirable to minimize the spring constant and damping coefficient as possible in the given constraints. The effect of performance improvement which is almost equal to fully active type is obtained.

A closed-loop system modeling of an active/semiactive suspension system has been accomplished through an artificial neural network. A 7DOF full model as a system's equation of motion has been derived and an output feedback linear quadratic regulator has been designed for control purpose. A training set of a sample data has been obtained through a computer simulation. A 7DOF full model with LQR controller simulated under several road conditions such as sinusoidal bumps and rectangular bumps. A general multilayer perceptron neural network is used for dynamic modeling and target outputs are fedback to the a layer. A backpropagation method is used as a training algorithm. Model validation of new dataset have been shown through computer simulations.

Multidisciplinary design optimization technique is applied to drum type washer in order to minimize the vibration of the cabinet. Dynamic analysis and structural analysis are carried out by using commercial programs to obtain the reliable responses. Analysis models are compared to the experimental responses and finally validated for further design. Two commercial programs are integrated by the design framework EMDIOS that provides interfaces to conveniently link between analyzers and performs design optimization. In this research we could obtain an optimum design that reduces the magnitude of amplitude by about 33% compared with the original design.

In this paper, the performance of a semi-active suspension system for a passenger car has been investigated. Alternative semi-active suspensions control laws has been compared via simulations. The control laws investigated in this study are : sprung mass velocity feedback control law, sky-hook damping control law, and state feedback control law. Simulation results show that a semi-active suspension has potential to improve ride quality of automobiles.

A semi-active suspension test system was designed and built for the experimental study. Vehicle parameters were estimated through tests and a quarter-car model was validated by comparing computer simulation results and laboratory test results. Alternative semi-active suspension control laws have been tested using the test system. Modulable damper used in this study is a "reverse" damper with 42 states which is controlled by a stepper motor. Experimental results have shown that semi-active suspensions have potential to improve ride quality of automobiles.tomobiles.

Analyzing internal structure, flow rate and dynamic behavior characteristics of electronically controlled shock absorber, damping performance limit is identified to comprise the two reciprocal characteristics of ride comfort and handling safety. Regardless of its lower performance than the active suspension control system, the semi-active suspension control system has been taking interest because of its absolutely higher performance than passive suspension system. Since the pervious studies have been concentrated mostly on analytic aspect and survey on the internal structure of the shock absorber remain insufficient, the main discourse of this paper is focused on analyzing the nonlinear shock absorber which varies the damping force of semi-active suspension system and the dynamic characteristics of the solenoid valve, a sort of pressure valve, and proposing the design factors of importance.
