Research on the Performance of Magnetorheological Semi-Active Suspension with Stepped By-Pass Valve based on Fuzzy PID Control

Abstract

At present, most of the seat suspensions of heavy-duty trucks use passive suspension and active suspension. The passive suspension has gradually failed to meet people"s needs in terms of vibration reduction performance, and the active suspension will consume too much energy. In this paper, a stepped by-pass valve magnetorheological semi-active suspension based on fuzzy PID control is proposed. The Simulink is used to simulate the system. In the case of sinusoidal excitation, the results show that this semi-active suspension reduces the vertical acceleration by 44.36%, the dynamic deflection of the suspension by 29.63% and the dynamic deformation of the tire by 43.78% compared with the passive suspension. Under the condition of C-level road surface input, the vertical acceleration of the suspension is reduced by 35.14%, the dynamic deflection of the suspension is reduced by 31.93%, and the dynamic deformation of the tire is reduced by 27.65%.
