This manuscript establishes a methodology that guides the designers to develop an optimal controller for a semiactive suspension system. The methodology’s processes are generally explained and straightforwardly, so a designer can extrapolate the methodology to a specific problem. Furthermore, this research presents an optimal control strategy for a semiactive control applied to a quarter vehicle model as an example of using the methodology. A particular interest is made in the advantages of such a simple synthesis and in the compromises that must be done in skyhook and groundhook control law applications. This manuscript exposes a logical and straightforward approach for choosing the controllers’ design parameters; also, efforts must be made to express precise performance specifications and constraints in the control design. The herein methodology could be relevant in the process design for intelligent suspensions, from one-quarter toward the entire vehicle.

半主动悬架的最佳天棚和地棚控制：综合方法

这份手稿建立了一种方法，可指导设计人员为半主动悬架系统开发最佳控制器。方法论的过程通常被解释得直截了当，因此设计者可以将方法论外推到特定问题。此外，本研究提出了一种适用于四分之一车辆模型的半主动控制的最佳控制策略，作为使用该方法的示例。人们特别感兴趣的是这种简单综合的优势以及必须在天棚和地棚控制律应用中进行的折衷。这份手稿揭示了一种选择控制器设计参数的合乎逻辑且直接的方法；此外，必须努力在控制设计中表达精确的性能规格和约束。
