Abstract: This study is intended to complement many existing analytical studies in the area of semiactive suspensions by providing a field evaluation of semiactive magneto rheological (MR) primary suspensions ...

Abstract: This paper will provide a study of the delay-independent stability of uncertain control systems, represented by a family of quasipolynomials with single time-delays. The uncertain systems that ...

Abstract: A novel active vibration control technique based on positive position feedback method is developed. This method, which is a modified version of positive position feedback, employs a first-order ...

Abstract: A subclass of general lumped-parameter dynamic systems which can be transformed into an equivalent symmetric form is considered here. For the purpose of the present study, these systems are ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on an experimental implementation of a semiactive seat suspension using magnetorheological (MR) dampers. We first introduce the nonlinear dynamics phenomena induced by skyhook ...

Abstract: This paper presents two alternative implementations of skyhook control, named “skyhook function” and “no-jerk skyhook,” for reducing the dynamic jerk that is often experienced with conventional ...

Abstract: This paper offers an experimental robustness analysis of a semi-active tuned vibration absorber (TVA) subject to structural mass off-tuning, which occurs frequently in practical applications of ...

Abstract: Orthogonal eigenstructure control is a novel active control method for vibration suppression in multi-input multi-output linear systems. This method is based on finding an output feedback control ...

Abstract: An experimental evaluation of the benefits of smart damping materials in reducing structural noise and vibration is presented. The construction of a special test rig for measuring both vibrations ...

Abstract: In this paper, we will present a nonlinear-model-based adaptive semiactive control algorithm developed for magnetorheological (MR) suspension systems exposed to broadband nonstationary random vibration ...
