Control of semi-active suspension system using PID controller

Abstract

This paper aims to scrutinize the performance of semi-active suspension system using a PID controller by applying Bouc-Wen model for magnetorheological fluid. The mathematical model is being simulated in the MATLAB Simulink environment. Two crucial road excitation were given to the suspension system namely sine and random input. The results of the both have been presented and their hysteric behaviour has been studied. Results show that by applying a controller the desired effect can be reached.
