Abstract

The main purpose of using the suspension system in vehicles is to prevent the road disturbance from being transmitted to the passengers. Therefore, a precise controller should be designed to improve the performances of suspension system. This paper presents a modeling and control of the nonlinear full vehicle active suspension system with passenger seat utilizing Fuzzy Model Reference Learning Control (FMRLC) technique. The components of the suspension system are: damper, spring and actuator, all of those components have nonlinear behavior, so that, nonlinear forces that are generated by those components should be taken into account when designed the control system. The designed controller consumes high power so that when the control system is used, the vehicle will consume high amount of fuel. It notes that, when vehicle is driven on a rough road; there will be a shock between the sprung mass and the unsprung mass. This mechanical power dissipates and converts into heat power by a damper. In this paper, the wasted power has reclaimed in a proper way by using electromagnetic actuator. The electromagnetic actuator converts the mechanical power into electrical power which can be used to drive the control system. Therefore, overall power consumption demand for the vehicle can be reduced. When the electromagnetic actuator is used three main advantages can be obtained: firstly, fuel consumption by the vehicle is decreased, secondly, the harmful emission is decreases, therefore, our environment is protected, and thirdly, the performance of the suspension system is improved as shown in the obtained results.
