Abstract

In this paper, a theoretical study is presented to examine the behavior a fail-safe magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) damper based on a temperature compensated skyhook strategy for a quarter car model of a High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV). A fail-safe MRF damper is a controllable semi-active device that in the event of power or control system failure behaves as a passive damper with certain viscous damping capacity. The damper's viscous force changes significantly with temperature. Vehicle suspension system is required to operate in a wide range of temperature. The temperature effects on the performance of MRF damper should be considered in the control system design. Displacement and acceleration response of the vehicle sprung mass for the quarter car model are discussed at the operating temperature range of a MRF damper. Simulation results under off-road excitation demonstrated that the compensated skyhook control system improves MRF damper performance in reducing the sprung mass displacement and acceleration compared to the uncompensated skyhook control system.
