Based on the Bingham plasticity model and a simple parallel-plate model, the operation principle of ER damper is presented and a four-DOF dynamic model of a vehicle suspension is constructed. Then a semi-active control of vehicle suspension system by ER damper is obtained. According to the semi-active control theory, the acceleration frequency characteristic is achieved with Matlab toolbox. Simulation results show that the vibration of the suspension system is well controlled.展开更多

One reason is high voltage power supplies cannot meet the requirement for ER effect. In this paper, an ER control high voltage power supply for engineering application was designed which reduced power wastage by adopting soft switch technology; lessened its volume to satisfy micromation when adopting the planar transformer and improved its response character- istic by choosing an assistant discharging circuit. Simultaneously, a simulation analysis has been carried out. As results, the output voltage of this high voltage power supply is 5 kV, and the voltage can be continuously regulated and the voltage ripple is only 0. 7 %, so the requirement of stability is also achieved.展开更多

The change of the elasticity of SMA spring and the characteristics of the ER shock absorber are studied. In addition, the study about fuzzy control logic is also carried out. Simulation of a C grade road under random excitations and definite disturbances is performed. Simulation result shows the fuzzy control strategy, which is used in the control of semi-active suspension system with ER damper and SMA springs, is effective, stable and reliable.展开更多

ER fluid characteristics are introduced based on the Bingham plasticity model first. Then ER damper working force is given. Finally a quarter car model with ER damper is constructed. The skyhook control strategy is adopted to simulate the amplitude-frequency characteristics and the vibration of suspension system under random road excitation on the basis of ER damper characteristics. The response curves of the vertical acceleration, the suspension dynamic working space and the tyre dynamic loading are obtained. Simulation results show that the acceleration is reduced effectively and then the ride comfort is improved by the skyhook control law.展开更多
