RESUMO

This work describes the analysis and comparison of a vehicle suspension semi-active controlled to a non linear passive system. The mathematic model of a suspension system, detailed in this work, has seven degrees of freedom in order to represent a full vehicle system. The two semi-active control laws used in this work are based on the skyhook theory. In the first one the damping coefficient is continuously variable (semi-active CVD) and, in the second one the damping coefficient can assume a maximum or a minimum value (semi-active ON-OFF). To analyze the systems, it was developed a program using the SIMULINK computational tool. This program can evaluate different situations of vehicle suspension systems. The results show that the non linear passive system, semi-active ON-OFF and semi-active CVD alternate the better performance. To have a better understanding of semi-active performance, an optimization of the parameters used in the control laws is needed. This work also explains the importance of considering the non linear behavior of passive systems elements
