Application of Combined Type Self-powered Active Suspensions to Rubber-Tired Vehicles

摘要

The self-powered active vibration control systems, which produce control force using energy regenerated by dampers are applied to suspensions of rubber-tired vehicles. Such systems do not require external energy to produce control force. To discuss the feasibility, the balance between the regenerated and the consumed energy is examined through numerical simulations. The results show that the active control can be reached only with the energy regenerated by the damper. This indicates the proposed system is feasible.
