One of the most important applications of the MR fluid is in vibration dampers, mainly used in construction, automobiles and other mechanical systems subjected to excitations that cause unwanted vibrations. In the automotive industry, nowadays the technology of dampers using MR fluid has emerged as a solution which can bring benefits of comfort and safety to overall vehicle users. This work discusses the non-linear modeling of a vehicle which considers the vertical, lateral and longitudinal dynamics, simulated in different driving conditions aiming evaluate the comfort, the road holding, the handling, the roll and the suspension deflection. It also aims to contribute to the field of vibration control in vehicular suspensions that use magnetoreological dampers, evaluating the performance of controllers optimal (LQR), fuzzy and FEB (Frequency-Estimation-Based ) designed in 1/4 of vehicle and applied to the non-linear model of the vehicle. This work is concluded presenting the potentialities of the design methodology proposed and future developments to be implemented.

Diploma thesis deals with the issue of active and semi-active damping and its possible applications in the context of vehicles. The beginning of the document is focused on the actual state, major applications and patents in the field. As each of the individual ways of usage is relatively specific, the next part is aimed particularly at the damping unit of bicycle. Given the choice, real measurements and simulations were made in order to verify the applicability of such a device in practice.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to design algorithms of semi-active suspension system for a quarter car model, compare their function with respect to ride comfort and drive safety. Consequently, setup control algorithms for using in the Adams software. The result of this thesis should be to determine the effect of semi-active suspension control system on vehicle behavior.

An Advanced Controller for a Semi-Active Wheelchair Suspension was designed, built and tested. The suspension consisted of a Goodyear 1S3-011 air spring, IQ Valves high speed proportional solenoid valve, and a custom made accumulator. Several controller designs specific to semi-active suspensions were designed and tested. The controllers investigated were skyhook, acceleration driven damping, and a combined control law employing both a dual and single sensor version. The implementation of skyhook control suffered performance degradation from the idealization due to particular elements of hardware, however acceleration driven damping showed a marked and statistically significant improvement over skyhook control, in hardware, by 14%. The combined control laws exhibited as yet unexplained transient behavior that produced results with low confidence in their veracity. All controllers proposed performed better than a conventional oil damper and spring type suspension.

Vehicle Suspension is an important sub-system in an automobile as it is directly related to the subjective qualities of ride comfort that the passengers perceive. A vehicle suspension works by insulating the driver and the passengers from the irregularities of the road. Moreover, a suspension is required to ensure the tires properly contact the surface for adequate traction. This study aims to analyze whether a damper that is made out of two individual dampers joined together can be used to provide better ride comfort and better road handling with appropriate control strategies and if this damper can work more effectively than a single semi-active damper / Master of Science / A car's suspension is crucial for a smooth ride and passenger comfort, as it absorbs bumps and keeps your tires in contact with the road. This research looks at a new type of shock absorber made of two connected parts to see if it improves ride comfort and handling compared to the traditional single shock absorber. We'll explore how this new design, along with smart control methods, might make driver and passenger comfort better.
