Abstract

Based on the dynamics analysis about the tracked vehicle electro-hydraulic semi-active suspension model, the optimal damping ratio control method was given in the paper. According to the character of suspension control objects and the influence factors of the vehicle ride comfort performance, the distributed not real-time suspension control system project was given. In the paper, the hardware and the software of intelligent suspension control system were designed which were used in the tracked vehicle test. At last, the test result has proved the suspension control system designed in the paper of excellent effect and reliability, which can improve the vehicle vibration environment and make sure that the control system could be well applied.

How Multibody Dynamics Simulation Technology is Used

An intelligent suspension control system was designed and tested using RecurDyn. Testing in RecurDyn demonstrated the ability of the control system to dampen vehicle vibration without building a costly prototype. Several designs could be tested quickly to determine the optimal design.
