Abstract
SUMMARY In order to present a useful method for designing active suspension of a vehicle, a linear full-car model is used in this investigation. In this model, the dampers of passive system are totally replaced by actuators. The actuators are controlled with optimal full state vector feedback. After determining feedback coefficients, the responses of active and passive systems were compared and it was found that performance of active system is much superior. It is desired that, changes in vehicle parameters would not affect the system's performance and hence should not violate its optimality. In other words, the system should behave adaptively using Model Reference Adaptive Control. The optimally controlled active suspension was used as a model for the active suspension of vehicle. In this way, the suspension of vehicle is controlled in such a way that its output approaches to that of the optimal active model. Thus the suspension should behave just like the optimal one.
