Abstract

Technological
development in the automotive sector caused to comfort and security problems
that was an important topic for engineering studies. Many vibrations sourced
from external factors that occur, these vibrations adversely affect the
vehicle's internal dynamics, comfort and safety. To better damp these
vibrations, controllers are required for suspensions. In this study, the
mathematical model of the quarter vehicle suspension system is modeled by
SIMULINK toolbox of MATLAB. Then, the system has been combined with
proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID) and sliding mode control
(SMC). After applying roads disturbance as inputs to the controllers, the
performance of system is compared with uncontrolled system.
