An Optimization Algorithm of Time-Delayed Feedback Control Parameters for Quarter Vehicle Semiactive Suspension System

Abstract

Time-delayed feedback control is commonly used on the vehicle semiactive suspension system to improve ride comfort and safety. However, its performance on the suppression of road random excitation is less significant than that on the suppression of simple harmonic excitation. Therefore, this paper proposes a strategy of time-delayed feedback control with the vertical displacement of wheel and the method of optimizing its parameters based on equivalent harmonic excitation. The optimal parameters of the time-delayed feedback control are obtained in this way for the vehicle semiactive suspension system in its effective frequency band. The results of numerical simulation verify that the time-delayed feedback control with vertical wheel displacement and its parameter optimization based on equivalent harmonic excitation can significantly improve the ride comfort and stability. Its performance is much better than that of the passive suspension system.
