摘要:AbstractIn this paper, a quarter car test rig is utilized to perform an experimental study of the single-link variant of the Series Active Variable Geometry Suspension (SAVGS). A nonlinear model of the test rig is identified with the use of a theoretical quarter car model and the rig’s experimental frequency response. A linear equivalent modeling method that compensates the geometric nonlinearity is also adopted to synthesize an H-infinity control scheme. The controller actively adjusts the single-link velocity in the SAVGS to improve the suspension performance. Experiments are performed to evaluate the SAVGS practical feasibility, the performance improvement, the accuracy of the nonlinear model and the controller’s robustness.
