Vibration Control of Vehicle Suspension Systems

The book covers complex issues for a vehicle suspension model, including non-linearities and uncertainties, network-induced time delays, and sampled-data model from a theoretical point of view. It includes control design methods such as neural network supervisory, sliding mode variable structure, optimal control, internal-model principle, feedback linearization control, input-to-state stabilization, and so on. It is aimed at researchers and graduate students in automotive engineering, vehicle vibration, mechatronics, control systems, applied mechanics, and vehicle dynamics.

This comprehensive book delves into the intricate complexities of vehicle suspension models, encompassing non-linearities, uncertainties, network-induced time delays, and sampled-data models from a theoretical perspective. It presents a wide range of control design methods, including neural network supervisory, sliding mode variable structure, optimal control, internal-model principle, feedback linearization control, input-to-state stabilization, and more. Each control method is thoroughly applied to simulations for comparison and verification.

One of the key features of this book is its comprehensive theoretical derivation, proof, and simulation verification, which are supported by MATLAB®-based simulation. This ensures that the readers gain a deep understanding of the underlying principles and can apply them effectively in real-world scenarios.

The book also focuses on the suspensions with time-delays, rather than delay-free models, which are more prevalent in practical applications. It covers all the models related to quarter-, half-, and full-vehicle suspensions, providing a comprehensive overview of the field.

The rigorous mathematical derivation process for each theorem is meticulously explained, making the book accessible to readers with a strong background in mathematics. The authors have also included numerous examples and illustrations to enhance the understanding of the concepts.

This book is ideal for researchers and graduate students in automotive engineering, vehicle vibration, mechatronics, control systems, applied mechanics, and vehicle dynamics. It provides a valuable resource for those seeking to improve the performance and safety of vehicles through advanced suspension control techniques.

In conclusion, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in vehicle suspension models and control design. Its comprehensive coverage, theoretical derivation, proof, and simulation verification, as well as its focus on time-delayed suspensions, make it a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students in the field.
