Vibration Performance Optimization of the Semi-Active Suspension with Fuzzy Control Method

Abstract

In order to improve the dynamic performance of five-axis heavy vehicle, a variable universe fuzzy control method is proposed to optimize suspension parameters. Five-axis multi-body dynamic model including electro-hydraulic proportional valve was firstly established in software ADAMS/Car. The variable universe fuzzy controller based on fuzzy neural network was also designed in MATLAB/Simulink, and then the co-simulation was conducted. The dynamic characteristics of five-axis heavy vehicle are studied to verify the effect of suspension parameters optimized by variable universe fuzzy control method in the A, B and C-level random pavement and different speed conditions. Simulation results show that compared with passive suspension, the real-time optimization of variable fuzzy control based on FNN can improve the ride comfort and the dynamic load of tire. Under different driving conditions, ride comfort can be increased by about 25%-30%, and the dynamic load of tire generally decreases by 25%-35%. Therefore this method has a certain practicability and effectiveness.
