Application of Magnetorheological Dampers for Vehicle Seat Suspensions
… to the problem of poor subjective feel of seat suspensions that employ magnetorheological (MR) dampers and skyhook control. An Isringhausen seat suspension that had been modified to replace the stock passive damper with a controllable MR damper was used to evaluate the problems and …

Active Vibration Isolation Using an Induced Strain Actuator with Application to Automotive Seat Suspensions
The characteristics of an automotive passenger seat in response to vibrational excitations are examined and an active vibration isolation system incorporating smart materials is designed, built, and tested. Human sensitivity to vibration is discussed. Characteristics of road roughness are discussed …

Objective assessment of static and dynamic seats under vehicular vibrations
… for performance assessment of automotive seats are reviewed. A comparative study of vibration transmission performance of the seats obtained with a number of subjects representing 50 th percentile male population and with an equivalent passive load is performed. The experimental results …

Design of Adaptive Vibration Control Systems with Applicaion to Magneto-Rheological Dampers
… is discussed. The systems studied include suspension systems, such as those used in vehicles, employing nonlinear magneto-rheological (MR) dampers that are controlled to provide improved vibration isolation. Magneto-rheological dampers use a novel class of smart fluid whose apparent …

Semiactive Cab Suspension Control for Semitruck Applications
… area of ride comfort that target the chassis or seat suspension, this work focuses on the cab suspension. The current standard in cab suspensions is comprised of some type of spring and passive damper mechanism. Ride improvements can most easily be accomplished by replacing the stock passive …
