Effect of semi-active HDS on vehicle longitudinal vibration and shock in the process of in-situ shift with different shift time

Abstract

In order to reduce the oil consumption, the vehicle in the process of in-situ shift should be quick enough, but the vibration and shock of the vehicle will be deteriorate. Then the effect of a novel semi-active hydraulic damping strut (HDS) on vehicle shock and vibration in the process of in-situ shift quickly in this study is analyzed. Firstly, the shift shock is analyzed from the driver system, and the powertrain mounting system (PMS) is regarded as the object to be optimized in this study. Then the 13 degree of freedoms (DOFs) vehicle dynamic model (VDM) with semi-active HDS is presented in this paper. The excitation force in the process of quick in-situ shift is identified, and the evaluation indexes (EIs) are reduced with semi-active HDS introduced. Finally, the experiments are carried out to validate the effect of the semi-active HDS on vehicle longitudinal vibration and shock in the process of quick in-situ shift, and the results show that the acceleration of the seat rail and steering wheel are reduced to a great extent. Different shift time is discussed and the results show that we can reduce the shift time to save the oil with semi-active HDS introduced.
