Achievable Dynamic Responses

Various analytic constraints upon transfer function can be found which allow us to determine exactly what can and cannot be acheived using a given active suspension system. Are there other constraints? Do these constraints conflict with our design goals?

Definition of an ideal response, both in frequency and time domains

Here we may consider a number of factors, including ride evaluation parameters such as Dynamic Tyre Load (handling), RMS suspension deflection (packaging) and RMS sprung mass acceleration (comfort).

This direction of research includes the more usual transfer function constraints approach, as well as a new direction of considering limitations arising from energy and power considerations.

Building realistic non-linear simulation model, and comparing these models with simplified models used in much of the analytical work in the literature.
