Abstract
This paper presents damping force control performances of a magnetorheological (MR) damper via a new control strategy considering hysteretic behavior of the field-dependent damping force. In order to achieve this goal, a commercial MR damper, Delphi Magneride™ which is applicable to a high-class passenger vehicle is adopted and its field-dependent damping force is experimentally evaluated. The MR damper has two types of damping force hysteretic behavior. The first is velocity-dependent hysteresis and the other is field-dependent hysteresis. Since the magnetic field is directly connected with control input, the field-dependent hysteresis largely affects the control performances of the MR damper system. To consider the field-dependent hysteretic behavior of the MR damper, a Preisach hysteresis model is established and its first-order descending (FOD) curves are experimentally identified. Subsequently, a feedforward hysteretic compensator associated with the biviscous model and inverse Bingham model is formulated to achieve the desired damping force. The control algorithm is experimentally implemented and damping force controllability for sinusoidal and arbitrary trajectories is evaluated in terms of accuracy and input magnitude. In addition, vibration control performances of the MR suspension system are experimentally evaluated with a quarter-vehicle test facility.
