Description
Summary:Considering the nonlinear properties of spring and damping of suspension, a quarter-car model with time-delayed control is established. The Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion and stability switching method are used to analyze the stability of the system and obtain the stability region diagram. The multiobjective optimization function is established by considering the ride comfort, driving safety, and handling stability. The optimal control parameters are obtained by the optimization and simulation of the system under harmonic excitation and random excitation. In addition, the responses of the active suspension system with optimal time-delay control and the passive suspension system without control are compared. The results show that the active suspension system with time-delay displacement feedback control can reduce the vibration of the system, and there is an optimal feedback parameter combination to optimize the vehicle running state. The design of multiobjective function optimization proposed in this paper can improve ride comfort, driving safety, and handling stability and provide guidance for comprehensively improving vehicle performance.
