Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of dynamics of vehicle height adjustment for automobile with Double-wishbone electronically-controlled air suspension (ECAS) under considering the effects of suspension geometry and kinematics. The model of vehicle height adjustment consists of air spring model and suspension dynamics model. The air spring model was derived by thermodynamic theory for variable-mass gas charge/discharge system. The suspension dynamics model was formulated by kinematics analysis and dynamics modeling of double-wishbone suspension. Then, the influence of suspension geometry and kinematics on the model of vehicle height adjustment was quantitatively analyzed through simulation. Finally, Simulink-Adams co-simulation results show the accuracy of the model.
