Nonparametric Shock Absorber Modelling Based on Standard Test Data

摘要

The possibility of improving the results of a rough road simulation by a - compared to the classic force-velocity relation - more complex, but still an easy-to-handle shock absorber model based only on standard harmonic excitation test data is investigated. While a force-displacement-velocity relation proves not well suited for the problem under consideration, a force-velocity-acceleration relation yields a noticeable gain of accuracy with little effort. Special attention is given to the problems arising particularly in a full vehicle simulation.
