Abstract
This paper deals with an input-based half car vehicle model moving with constant velocity over a terrain surface, where MR damper is fixed in both the wheels. The half car model fixed in a rolling dynamometer is operated with various input frequencies corresponding to various speeds. To design and develop control algorithms that will give optimum benefits of the unique features of the MR damper, models have been developed which adequately characterize the damper’s genuine, natural nonlinear behavior. The controller controls both the dampers according to variations in parameters of road surface, speed and load etc., with an advanced time with a particular time bound, through input (pre-programmed) based skyhook on/off control system. Comparison of experimental results of input based and ordinary skyhook on/off results indicates that the model is more functional and rewarding for vibration suppression over a wide range of operating conditions and is passable for control design and analysis.
