Abstract

Recently, there is a tendency towards the utilization of magnetorheological (MR) dampers in electrical vehicles (EV) due to its adaptability of active control devices with lower requirement of large power sources compared to the active damping systems. This paper investigates the performance of the most used control technique for MR dampers used in EV, the PID controller, under different road conditions. In this investigation, the Dynamic-Damper-Motor System (ADM-EV) is used as the EV suspension system model. Meanwhile, modified Bouc-Wen model is used as the MR damper model. The design procedure for the optimum design of the system controller parameters is illustrated. Then, the optimum design is validated via MATLAB/Simulink.
