A Piecewise Hysteresis Model for a Damper of HIS System

الملخص EN

A damper of the hydraulically interconnected suspension (HIS) system, as a quarter HIS, is prototyped and its damping characteristic is tested to characterize the damping property.

The force-velocity characteristic of the prototype is analyzed based on a set of testing results and accordingly a piecewise hysteresis model for the damper is proposed.

The proposed equivalent parametric model consists of two parts: hysteresis model in low speed region and saturation model in high speed region which are used to describe the hysteresis phenomenon in low speed and nonhysteresis phenomenon in high speed, respectively.

The parameters of the model are identified based on genetic algorithm by setting the constraints of parameters according to their physical significances and the corresponding testing results.

The advantages of the model are highlighted by comparing to the nonhysteresis model and the permanent hysteresis model.

The numerical simulation results are compared with the testing results to validate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed model.

Finally, to further verify the proposed model’s wide applicability under different excitation conditions, its results are compared to the testing results in three-dimensional space.

The research in this paper is significant for the dynamic analysis of the HIS vehicle.
