Achievable Dynamic Response for Automotive Active Suspensions

Vehicle Systems Dynamics, Volume 24, Pages 1-34, 1995Abstract
A complete set of constraints is derived for the road disturbance transfer functions in a quarter car model of an automotive active suspension, for typical choices of measured outputs. It is shown that any road disturbance responses which are achievable using ``full state feedback'' can be achieved, to within an arbitrary small tolerance, using a dynamic compensator measuring suspension deflection only. Also considered are the disturbance responses to loads acting on the sprung mass, and a complete set of constraints is derived for these. It is shown that road disturbance and load disturbance responses can be determined independently if suspension deflection and sprung mass velocity are measured. Indeed, any responses achievable separately with ``full measurements'' can be approximated together to an arbitrary small tolerance. Certain integral relationships are shown to follow from the derived transfer function constraints. These relationships imply fundamental limitations for certain responses (e.g. tyre deflection) no matter what measurements are available for feedback.
