Abstract
This paper designs a quasi-zero stiffness suspension with an air spring and a magnetic spring in parallel to improve the vehicle ride comfort. The proposed new suspension does not change the overall layout of the air suspension or affect the handling stability, reducing the system’s natural frequency by a sound vibration isolation effect for a low-frequency vibration and finally improving ride comfort. The feasibility of quasi-zero stiffness suspension is verified by mathematical modeling of air spring and magnetic spring, and reasonable structural parameters are set for the simulation experiment. The 1/4 vehicle model with two degrees of freedom is built in MATLAB / Simulink. Select body acceleration, suspension working space, and tire dynamic load as evaluation indexes to test the comfort performance of the proposed suspension. The result shows that the proposed new suspension has a noticeable effect on reducing the acceleration of the vehicle body and significantly improves the vehicle ride comfort.
