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.
