Abstract

A new vehicle active suspension with Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator (EHA) is suggested. The system consists of two parts: spring and actuator with variable control force. The actuator includes hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic pump, controller, etc. According to bond graph principle, bond graph model of EHA active suspension are built. For vehicle active suspension system, unavoidable time delay may appear in the controllable course. Time-delay influence on the dynamic performance of vehicle active suspension is analyzed. Physical prototype and experimental rig for EHA active suspension is built. Then the tests of suspension prototype with time-delay control are carried out on the developed test rig. The results show that the sprung mass acceleration of the active suspension with time-delay compensation significantly declines by 11.56% under the road input of 1.1Hz and by 12.8% under the road input of 1.5Hz
