In this paper, an overview and a benchmark of some semi-active suspension control strategy
performances is proposed. Based on a recent result of the authors, where the optimal semi …

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is an established control technique in chemical process
control, due to its capability of optimally controlling multivariable systems with constraints on …

The real “golden age” of electronic suspension can be probably located in the 1980s; during
that decade the exceptional potential of replacing a traditional spring-damper system with a …

In this article, a hybrid control framework is used to design semi-active controllers for
vibration reduction. It is shown that the semi-active skyhook damper, typically used for …

The aim of this chapter is to emphasize the interest of the LPV methodology for suspension
modeling and control. Indeed, the main features of a semi-active automotive suspensions …

Dynamic optimization has become a standard tool for decision making in a wide range of
areas. The search for the most fuel-efficient strategy to send a rocket into orbit or the most …

The benefits of the inerter in passive suspension have been well demonstrated. To
investigate suspension performances with the inerter in semi-active suspension, eight well …

This article investigates the problem of using jerk (the rate-of-change of acceleration) motion
control to move a given distance without overshoot. Distance, velocity, and acceleration are …

The main objective of the research presented in this thesis is to enhance driver comfort and
handling of a heavy truck that in turn leads to better vehicle safety and stability. The focus …

In this Chapter the control and exploitation of nonlinearity are considered when applied to so
called 'smart structures'. Here we consider how active control can be applied to structures …
