    Vertical dynamic analysis of a quarter car suspension system with MR damper
    (Springer Verlag service@springer.de, 2017) Hemanth, K.; Kumar, H.; Gangadharan, K.V.
    This paper presents ride comfort and road holding analysis of passive and semi-active suspension system using quarter car model. Semi-active suspension system with magnetorheological (MR) damper was modeled as non-parametric model-based magnetic flux density in the fluid flow gap. The skyhook control strategy was used to analyze semi-active control performance. The simulation of passive and semi-active suspension system was carried out under random road profile for different velocities. The result shows that semi-active suspension has significant improvement in terms of ride comfort and road holding of vehicle than passive suspension system. Experimental studies have been conducted to characterize MR damper and a good match is observed between results with simulation results obtained using non-parametric model. © 2016, The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering.

    Dynamic analysis of half car model with MR damper as semi-active suspension element
    (International Institute of Acoustics and Vibrations P O Box 13 Auburn AL 36831, 2018) Hemanth, K.; Kumar, H.; Gangadharan, K.V.
    This paper presents the dynamic analysis of a half-car model with a magnetorheological (MR) damper subjected to random excitation. Experimental studies have been conducted to predict the behavior of the prototype twin-tube MR damper. The mathematical model of the prototype MR damper has been proposed by using the Bouc-Wen model. The half-car model with the MR damper has been used to predict the ride comfort and road holding performance. Comparative studies between the half-car model with the passive and semi-active suspension system with a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control shows that the MR damper suspension system offers a good performance. © 2018 International Institute of Acoustics and Vibrations.
