Abstract

This paper proposes a static-output-feedback based robust fuzzy wheelbase preview control algorithm for uncertain active suspensions with time delay and finite frequency constraint. Firstly, a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy augmented model is established to formulate the half-car active suspension system with consideration of time delay, sprung mass variation and wheelbase preview information. Secondly, in view of the resonation between human's organs and vertical vibrations in the frequency range of 4-8 Hz, a finite frequency control criterion in terms of $H_{\infty}$ norm is developed to improve ride comfort. Meanwhile, other mechanical constraints are also considered and satisfied via generalized $H_{2}$ norm. Thirdly, in order to maintain the feasibility of the controller despite of some state variables are not online-measured, a two stage approach is adopted to derive a static output feedback controller. Finally, numerical simulation results illustrate the excellent performance of the proposed controller.
