Abstract: The use of actively controlled pneumatic actuators in parallel with conventional passive suspensions to improve vehicle dynamics was investigated. For application on the secondary lateral suspension ...

Abstract: A dynamic model of an automotive powertrain system is developed by the use of eight states and two time-delays in the continuous-time domain, with careful attention given to the dynamics and ...

Abstract: A nonlinear, “sliding mode” fuel-injection controller is designed based on a physically motivated, mathematical engine model. The designed controller can achieve a commanded air-to-fuel ratio with ...
