Design of Robust Controllers for Active Vehicle Suspension Using the Mixed µ Synthesis

Abstract

Summary The mixed µ synthesis for active suspension problems is proposed. Applying this method the real parametric uncertainties can be taken into consideration, which is more realistic than the traditional approaches, and the design process yields a less conservative compensator than other robust control design methods. The concept of the active suspension design using full-car models to handle the uncertain components is presented. The result of the mixed µ method is compared with the complex µ synthesis, and the passive system.
