Abstract

Air-spring-dampers offer a novel alternative to traditional hydraulic damping within suspension systems. However, due to the intricate damping behavior and a multitude of configuration possibilities, the design process of air-spring-dampers proves to be challenging. This paper proposes a solution to address these challenges by introducing a simulation framework integrated with parameter optimization, enabling the simulation and design of any air-spring-damper. The simulation framework incorporates three fundamental modules: volume, mass exchange, and heat exchange. By abstracting the air-spring-damper as a graph and representing it via adjacency matrices, these modules will automatically be connected to construct a simulation model for any air-spring-damper configuration. Furthermore, leveraging the framework simplifies the design process through a parameter optimization. This method allows for a target damping curve to be set. The optimization algorithm then adjusts the air-spring-damper's design parameters until the target curve is achieved. A comparison of algorithms is conducted to determine the most suitable for this optimization problem. The pattern search and surrogate algorithms emerge as strong performers, effectively producing the target damping curve. To simplify the design process further, the common objective of enhancing driving safety and comfort is transformed into an optimization problem within the framework. This leads to the generation of a Pareto front, which presents design recommendations that balance safety and comfort optimally.

空气弹簧阻尼器设计的模块化仿真框架
空气弹簧阻尼器为悬架系统中传统的液压阻尼提供了一种新颖的替代方案。然而,由于复杂的阻尼特性和多种配置可能性,空气弹簧阻尼器的设计过程被证明是具有挑战性的。本文提出了一种解决方案,通过引入一个集成参数优化的仿真框架,使任何空气弹簧阻尼器的仿真和设计成为可能。仿真框架包含三个基本模块:体积、质量交换和热交换。通过将空气弹簧减振器抽象为图形,并通过邻接矩阵表示,这些模块将自动连接起来,以构建任何空气弹簧减振器配置的仿真模型。此外,利用框架通过参数优化简化了设计过程。该方法允许设定目标阻尼曲线。优化算法调整空气弹簧减振器的设计参数,直至达到目标曲线。比较了几种算法,确定了最适合该优化问题的算法。模式搜索和替代算法表现优异,有效地产生了目标阻尼曲线。为了进一步简化设计过程,将提高驾驶安全性和舒适性的共同目标转化为框架内的优化问题。这导致了帕累托前沿的产生,它提出了最佳平衡安全性和舒适性的设计建议。
