Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of determining the optimal parameters of a sky-hook damper type suspension in the control of the stationary random response of half car vehicle models traversing a rough road with constant velocity. The feedback control scheme is realized by approximating the sky-hook damper strategy, and the optimal parameters of the sky-hook damper are obtained by equating the sky-hook damper suspension force with that of a fully active suspension force using linear quadratic regulator with preview control (LQR with preview control). Results show that the overall performance of the sky-hook damper approximately 99% matches with performance of LQR with preview control (look ahead preview control) over a specified vehicle velocity range.
