For semi-active and active suspensions for automotive applications, passing from a theoretical law to an actual design with components capable of implementing the desired theoretical force laws is always a critical point. Indeed, many systems that can generate forces are both complex and limited as regards their frequency response, and this is particularly true for active systems. This investigation addresses the problem of whether a theoretical semi-active force law can actually be implemented by using a magnetorheological damper, obtaining the desired results from the suspension. The paper presents a comparative method for analyzing different vehicle suspensions in order to determine whether a magnetorheological device can actually implement theoretical damping laws. This study concludes with a discussion of simulation results, which provide a good idea of the limitations and potential of magnetorheological technology for application in motor vehicle suspensions.
