Abstract

This paper presents vibration control performance of quarter car model with three-degrees-of-freedom having Magneto- Rheological (MR) suspension system. Experimental work is performed on an MR shock absorber prototype under various cyclic excitation conditions. A polynomial model is selected to characterize the test results of MR shock absorber. The designed forward fuzzy logic controller (FFLC) and inverse fuzzy logic controller (IFLC) are assembled in the secondary suspension system of quarter car model. The response plots in time domain due to bump road disturbance related to passenger seat are obtained for uncontrolled and controlled quarter car models. Simulation results are compared for selection of best option which can provide maximum ride comfort to travelling passengers. Simulation results demonstrate that semi-active quarter car system provides improved overall performance in terms of passenger ride comfort and safety compared to uncontrolled system.
