Static-Output-Feedback Based Robust Fuzzy Wheelbase Preview Control for Uncertain Active Suspensions With Time Delay and Finite Frequency Constraint
Abstract
This paper proposes a static-output-feedback based robust fuzzy wheelbase preview control algorithm for uncertain active suspensions with time delay and finite frequency constraint. Firstly, a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy augmented model is established to formulate the half-car active suspension system with consideration of time delay, sprung mass variation and wheelbase preview information. Secondly, in view of the resonation between human s organs and vertical vibrations in the frequency range of 4-8 Hz, a finite frequency control criterion in terms of $H_{\\infty}$ norm is developed to improve ride comfort. Meanwhile, other mechanical constraints are also considered and satisfied via generalized $H_{2}$ norm. Thirdly, in order to maintain the feasibility of the controller despite of some state variables are not online-measured, a two stage approach is adopted to derive a static output feedback controller. Finally, numerical simulation results illustrate the excellent performance of the proposed controller.
