Abstract
The active vibration isolation of a quarter-vehicle suspension system using an electromagnetic damper was achieved by designing the feedback gain of a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and H-∞ controllers in modal coordinates. The efficacy of vibration isolation was analyzed in the frequency domain, while the performance of vibration suppression and passengers’ comfort quality were evaluated in the time domain. The research results demonstrated that by employing modal coordinate transformation in state space, the designated system’s resonance peaks can be directly suppressed in the frequency domain. The findings also indicate that the active control in modal coordinates can achieve a higher vibration suppression percentage per unit control effort in comparison to traditional active control in physical space. In other words, the modal controller is more efficient in vibration suppression than the controller designed in physical space.
