Chen, Y. (2009) Skyhook surface sliding mode control on semi-active vehicle suspension systems for ride comfort enhancement. Engineering, 1(1), pp. 23-32. (doi: 10.4236/eng.2009.11004)

Abstract

A skyhook surface sliding mode control method was proposed and applied to the control on the semi-active vehicle suspension system for its ride comfort enhancement. A two degree of freedom dynamic model of a vehicle semi-active suspension system was given, which focused on the passenger’s ride comfort perform-ance. A simulation with the given initial conditions has been devised in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simula-tion results were showing that there was an enhanced level of ride comfort for the vehicle semi-active sus-pension system with the skyhook surface sliding mode controller.
