Abstract

This paper investigates the problem of vibration suppression in vehicular active suspension systems, whose aim is to stabilize the attitude of the vehicle and improve the riding comfort. A full-car model is adopted, and electrohydraulic actuators with highly nonlinear characteristics are considered to form the basis of accurate control. In this paper, the H∞ performance is introduced to realize the disturbance suppression by selecting the actuator forces as virtual inputs, and an adaptive robust control technology is further used to design controllers which help real force inputs track virtual ones. The resulting controllers are robust against both actuator parametric uncertainties and uncertain actuator nonlinearities. The stability analysis for the closed-loop system is given within the Lyapunov framework. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control law, where different road conditions are considered in order to reveal the closed-loop system performance in detail.
