Study on Active Suspension with Variable Structure Control Based on the Fractional Order Exponential Reaching Law

Abstract:

Based on the dynamic model of 1/4 vehicle suspension, an active control system is designed using the fractional order exponential reaching law of model following variable structure control strategy. An active suspension with linear quadratic optimal control is used as the reference model. The sliding mode switching surface parameters is designed by pole placement method to ensure the stability of the system. At the same time, combined with the index reaching law proposed by Professor Gao Wei Bing and the definition and properties of fractional index, constructs a similar fractional order exponent reaching law to improve the dynamic quality of sliding mode motion. And in MATLAB, system modeling and controller design are implemented. By setting up experiments, the different suspensions are compared. The results show that compared with the passive suspension, the performance of the vehicle can be improved better, and the performance of the tracking reference model has good tracking performance. Moreover, compared with the integral exponential reaching law, the chattering can be more effectively weakened. Finally, before and after the change of vehicle parameters in the simulation, the results show that the system has good robustness.
