Time-Delay Vibration Reduction Control of 3-DOF Vehicle Model with Vehicle Seat

Abstract

Vehicles driving on the road continuously suffer low-frequency and high-intensity road excitation, which can cause the occupant feelings of tension and dizziness. To solve this problem, a three-degree-of-freedom vehicle suspension system model including vehicle seat is established and a linear function equivalent excitation method is proposed. The optimization of the random excitation is transformed into the optimization of constant force in a discrete time interval, which introduces the adaptive weighted particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize the delay and feedback gain parameters in the feedback control of time delay. In this paper, the stability switching theory is used for the first time to analyze the stability interval of 3-DOF time-delay controlled active suspension, which ensures the stability of the control system. The numerical simulation results show that the algorithm can reduce vertical passenger acceleration and vehicle acceleration, respectively, by 13.63% and 28.38% on average, and 29.99% and 47.23% on random excitation, compared with active suspension and passive suspension based on inverse control. The effectiveness of the method to suppress road random interference is verified, which provides a theoretical reference for further study of suspension performance optimization with time-delay control.
