| description | In this paper, an original construction of a vehicle vibration damper controlled by means of a valve based on piezoelectric actuator is presented and investigated. The presented valve allows us to control dissipation characteristics of the damper faster than in other solutions adjusting the size of the gap through which the oil flows between the chambers of the damper. The article also presents the results of the experimental investigation of the above-mentioned damper showing the possibility of changing the value of the damping force five times in about 10 ms by changing the voltage supplying the piezoelectric actuator. Based on these results, dissipative characteristics were determined which enabled the identification of the parameters of the damper numerical model. The article also presents the results of numerical investigations a vehicle model equipped with the developed dampers. The results showed that the developed damper controlled by the use of the piezoelectric actuator can significantly affect vehicle traffic safety by reducing the variation of vertical forces acting on the wheels. The results obtained are so promising that the authors undertook preparations to conduct road tests of a vehicle equipped with the developed dampers. |
