VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF QUARTER CAR SEMI-ACTIVE SUSPENSION MODEL – NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS AND INDOOR TESTING
Trans Motauto World, Vol. 2 (2017), Issue 1, pg(s) 11-16
This paper describes the results of numerical simulations and laboratory experiments of quarter car semi-active suspension model. Elastic characteristic of the coil spring and damping characteristics of the shock absorber in various operating modes are determinate. The amplitude-frequency characteristics and transfer function of the system with various damping coefficient are obtained. The results can be used to design semi-active suspension control strategy for improving ride comfort and road holding of ground vehicles.
