Abstract

This paper presents a performance evaluation of a pneumatic actuator controller in an active suspension system. The controller is the inner loop part of the active suspension control in a pneumatically actuated active suspension system. The purpose of the force-tracking controller in the system is to guarantee the controllability of the pneumatic actuator in improving ride quality as well as counteract unwanted body motion. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated by simulation and experimental work using sinusoid, square and sawtooth signal to represent several classes of continuous and discontinuous functions. Simulation studies are presented in time domain simulation while the experimental evaluation is conducted on a full-scale quarter car test rig. In general, it can be reported that the force tracking control scheme is able to track the desired signal well. The proposed scheme is also easy to realize in practice due to its simple structure.
