Design and Analysis of an Interconnected Suspension for a Small Off-Road Vehicle

Minaker B. P., Yao Z

Archive of Mechanical Engineering

2017

Vol. LXIV, nr 1

5--21

The paper describes the design and multibody dynamic analysis of a mechanically interconnected suspension, as applied to a small off-road vehicle. Interconnected suspensions use some sort of connection between the axles of a vehicle in order improve ride quality or vehicle handling. In principle, the connection may be hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical, but for installation in a typical passenger car, a mechanical connection would likely be impractical due to weight and complexity. In this paper, the vehicle in question is the University of Windsor SAE Baja off-road competition vehicle, and novel mechanical design is proposed. A multibody dynamic analysis is performed on the proposed design using the EoM open source multibody software developed by the University of Windsor Vehicle Dynamics and Control research group in order to assess any potential performance improvements.

Robust L2 consensus of high-order swarm systems with time-varying delays

Vol. 43, no. 1

59--77

Consensus problems for high-order continuous-time swarm systems in directed networks with time delays, uncertainties and external disturbances are investigated. Firstly, the state space of a swarm system is decomposed into a consensus subspace (CS) and a complement consensus space (CCS). A necessary and sufficient condition for the system with time delays and uncertainties to achieve consensus is presented based on the state projection on CCS, and an explicit expression of the consensus function is shown on the basis of the state projection on CS. Then, a sufficient condition for the system to achieve consensus with a desired L2 performance is given. Finally, numerical simulations are shown to demonstrate theoretical results.
