A Multi-Hook Control Strategy for a Semi-Active Device Combining an Adjustable Inerter and Damper

Neither the separate skyhook damping nor the skyhook inertance control strategy can adapt to the variations of both road and load conditions simultaneously. To address this issue, this work proposed a novel ideal multi-hook system by combining the skyhook inerter and hybrid damper, with both of thei...

description Neither the separate skyhook damping nor the skyhook inertance control strategy can adapt to the variations of both road and load conditions simultaneously. To address this issue, this work proposed a novel ideal multi-hook system by combining the skyhook inerter and hybrid damper, with both of their coefficients optimized. The proposed system can achieve road holding without sacrificing ride comfort. Depending on whether the inerter and damper were adjusted independently or together, this ideal multi-hook was realized semi-actively in two different control models with three different control strategies, i.e., independent, inertance-based and damping-based control. The effects of these strategies were compared and analyzed. The simulation results show that compared with passive suspension, the root mean square value of body acceleration of the three kinds of multi-hook suspension decreases by more than 40% under different loads and by more than 28% on the roads of Classes A, B and C. Compared with the skyhook damping suspension, the dynamic wheel load of the multi-hook suspensions is reduced by more than 27.5%, proving that the semi-active suspension system with multi-hook control guarantees handling stability under various road and load conditions while ensuring ride comfort.
