Abstract :This paper is concerned with a control design of an electro-hydraulic suspension system. In some practical problems, for instance in the active suspension design, the state derivative signals such as acceleration and velocity are easier to obtain rather than the state variables such as displacement and velocity, since the most commonly used sensors are the accelerometers. Hence, design of an optimal state derivative feedback controller is proposed by employing the linear matrix inequalities framework. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller, a two-degree-of-freedom quarter vehicle suspension model equipped with an electro hydraulic actuator is preferred. Throughout the numerical simulation studies, bump type road irregularities at different vehicle forward velocities are applied to evaluate the performances of the controller in terms of ride comfort and safety.
