Vibration Control of Vehicle Suspension Systems

This book covers complex issues for a vehicle suspension model, including non-linearities and uncertainties in a suspension model, 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. Every control method is applied to the simulation for comparison and verification.

Features

Includes theoretical derivation, proof, and simulation verification combined with suspension models
Provides the vibration control strategies for sampled-data suspension models
Focuses on the suspensions with time-delays instead of delay-free
