Investigation on Stability and Possible Chaotic Motions in the Controlled Wheel Suspension System

Abstract

SUMMARY The suspension system has to fulfil a large number of partly contradictory requirements which can be improved by the application of controllable elements in the wheel suspension system. A number of studies dealing with the improvement of suspension characteristics have been published. In the present paper the stability of the controlled suspension systems will be examined. In the paper the stability problems of the active suspension system is analysed and the stable parameter regions are determined.
