Abstract

The objective of this paper is to design and compare the performance of robust 𝐻∞ controllers for slow and fully active electromechanical suspension systems. 𝐻∞ controllers are synthesized based on half-car model dynamics. The criteria used for comparison are linear and angular body accelerations representing the ride comfort, tire compressions for handling, and actuator effort for energy consumption. It is shown that slow-active electromechanical suspension systems consume considerably less control energy relative to fully active electromechanical suspension systems, albeit with a slight decrease in performance.
