Abstract

This paper presents some analyses and simulation results of the passive and magneto-rheological (MR) suspension and driver’s seat dampers. The damper with the MR liquid is modeled via the Bingham model due to its simplicity and high efficiency in comparison with other models. The simulation models of the passive and MR damper suspension and driver’s seat models are developed in MATLAB/Simulink. Two road profile data sets are used in simulations, one of which is the road roughness data, collected from the roads, that is interpolated with respect to the vehicle speed, and the time spent to cover the chosen road distance. The other is the Heaviside step function generated numerically. The numerical simulation results have shown that the MR based suspension and seat dampers have outperformed the passive suspension and seat dampers considerably.
