Abstract: This paper studies the effect of optimal damping control suspensions on vehicle ride performance. The gain matrix is developed from second-order equations with the road roughness represented by ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a method leading to separated-form formulation of dynamic equations of multibody systems subject to control. The algorithm is derived from the virtual work principle and ...

Abstract: This paper studies the tire damping effect on the ride performance of a vehicle equipped with active suspension. Instead of first-order equation, a second-order approach is used for controller ...

Abstract: Symbolic closed-form equation formulation and linearization for constrained multibody systems subject to control are presented. The formulation is based on the principle of virtual work. The ...
