Estimation of Disturbance Inputs to a Tire Coupled Quarter-car Suspension Test Rig
… forces, acting on the sprung mass of a quarter-car suspension test rig was generated. This information is intended for use in active control methods applied to vehicle suspensions. This estimate is achieved with two acceleration measurements as inputs to the estimator; one each on the …

Design and Adaptive Control of a Lab-based, Tire-coupled, Quarter-car Suspension Test Rig for the Accurate Re-creation of Vehicle Response
… toward a common goal. First, a state-ofthe-art quarter-car test platform has been designed and constructed to offer increased testing flexibility at a reasonable cost not found commercially. With this new test rig completed, the second objective is a proof-of-concept evaluation of a well known …

Elastodynamic Analysis of Vehicle Suspension Uprights
The ability of a Formula SAE sports car to negotiate a turn in a race is influenced by many parameters which include car's overall geometry, its shape, weight distribution, type of suspension used, spring and shock absorber characteristics that are used in the tire properties, static and dynamic …

Multibody Dynamics Modeling and System Identification for a Quarter-Car Test Rig with McPherson Strut Suspension
… dynamic response and joint reaction forces of a quarter-car suspension. This need is addressed by this study through development and system identification of both a linear and a non-linear multibody dynamics McPherson strut quarter-car suspension model. Both models are developed using a method …

Design, Modeling and Control of Vibration Systems with Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters and their Application to Vehicle Suspensions
… energy harvester, for improvement of suspension performance, has been experimentally implemented in a scaled-down quarter-car suspension system. While improving performance, power produced by the harvester can be harvested through energy harvesting circuits. This dissertation also …

Combined Time and Frequency Domain Approaches to the Operational Identification of Vehicle Suspension Systems
… investigation into the identification of vehicle suspension systems from measured operational data. Methods of identifying unknown parameter values in dynamic models, from experimental data, are of considerable interest in practice. Much of the focus has been on the identification of mechanical …

Analysis of Lossless-Adjustable One-Ports: Experimental Testing, Modelling and Optimal Control
… corresponding clipped-optimal control law for a quarter-car where semi-active damper is used to provide the control action and also where both components: semi-active damper and varspring, are used simultaneously. Different simulation profiles are evaluated that represent common operating …
