1. Introduction

Today, a rebellious race is taking place among the automotive industry so as to produce highly developed models. One of the performance requirements is advanced suspension systems which prevent the road disturbances to affect the passenger comfort while increasing riding capabilities and performing a smooth drive [3]. While the purpose of the suspension system is to provide a smooth ride in the car and to help maintain control of the vehicle over rough terrain or in case of sudden stops, increasing ride comfort results in larger suspension stroke and smaller damping in the wheel hop mode [9]. The roles of a suspension system are to support the weight of the vehicle to isolate the vibrations from the road and to maintain the traction between the tire and the road. The suspension systems are classified into passive and active systems according to the existence of a control input. The active suspension system is again subdivided into two types: a full active and a semi-active system In addition, the suspension systems can be divided, by their control methods, In particular, an adaptive suspension system is the type of suspension system in which controller parameters are continuously adjusted by adapting the time-varying characteristics of the system. Adaptive methods include a gain scheduling scheme, a model reference adaptive control, a self-tuning control [8]. The performance of a suspension system is characterized by the ride quality, the drive stability, the size of the rattle space, and the dynamic tire force. The prime purpose of adopting an active suspension system is to improve the ride quality and the drive stability. To improve the ride quality, it is important to isolate the vehicle body from road disturbances and to decrease the resonance peak at

or near 1 Hz which is known to be a sensitive frequency to the human body. So to achieve this goal we will design compound controllers such as Fuzzy PID Controller to reach better answer [5].2. Dynamic analysis and equations of the

conventional and new model of Macpherson suspension system

2.1. Conventional Model

Figure 1 shows the conventional model that depicts the vertical motions of the sprung and the unsprung masses. All coefficients in Fig 1 are assumed to be linear. The state

variables are defined as: the suspension

deflection, the velocity of the sprung mass,

the tire deflection, the velocity of the

unsprung mass. The equations of motion are:

Then, the state equation is:

And, the transfer function from the road input

to the acceleration of the sprung mass is:

2.2. New Model

The schematic diagram of the Macpherson type suspension system is shown in Figure 2. In this model the mass of the control arm is ignored and the bushing is assumed to be a pin joint. As the mass of the control arm is much smaller than those of the sprung mass and the unsprung mass, it can be neglected and the vertical displacement of the

sprung mass and the rotation angle of the control arm

are chosen as the generalized coordinates.For this new model of Macpherson suspension system is

assumed that the horizontal movement of the sprung mass is neglected, i.e. the sprung mass has only the vertical

displacement . The unsprung mass is linked to the car

body in two ways. One is via the damper and the other is via

the control arm The values of and will be measured

from their static equilibrium points. The sprung and the unsprung masses are assumed to be particles. The coil spring deflection, the tire deflection and the damping forces are in the linear regions of their operating ranges.

Let denote the coordinates of

point , and , respectively, when the suspension system is at an equilibrium point. Let the sprung mass be

translated by upward and the unsprung mass be rotated

by in the counter-clockwise direction. Then, the following equations hold [1,2]:

3. Optimal Pole-Placement Control

In this section, an optimal pole-placement control which combines the control and the pole placement technique for the new model is presented [1]. The closed loop system is designed to have desired characteristics by means of the pole-placement technique, while minimizing the cost function, as defined by the weightings of the input, state and output of the system, as follows [8]. The considered linear time-invariant system and the performance index are [4,12,13,16]:

(10)

For given and , the optimal control law and the optimal closed loop system are:

(11)

where is the solution of the Riccati equation below:

The solution of the Riccati equation can be obtained in

another approach as follows. Let , introduce a

Hamiltonian matrix as:

The Jordan decomposition of is of the form where and contain the eigenvectors and

the eigenvalues of , respectively. Then, the following relationship is known:

where is the closed loop system matrix defined in )11(, denotes an eigen matrix in which the eigenvalues

consists of the eigenvectors of corresponding to the

eigenvalues of , and .

Furthermore, and are determined as follows:

Design procedure for optimal pole placement controller are as follows. At first we Select and and design a

controller then Evaluate the performance of the controller, and determine the eigenvalues that need to be shifted, Construct the Hamiltonian matrix and find the eigenvectors of corresponding to the eigenvalues that

need to be shifted, Obtain where is

the matrix that is composed of the unstable eigenvectors corresponding to the eigenvalues that need to be shifted and the stable eigenvectors corresponding to the eigenvalues that stay in their original locations. Let be the degree of relative stability of the eigenvalues that are to be shifted:

And eventually Solve the Riccati equation with the modified matrices or try the second method )equetion15(, to obtain the desired closed loop pole locations [6,10].4. fuzzy control and applying of fuzzy PID control

During the last decades fuzzy logic has implemented very fast hence the first paper in fuzzy set theory, which is now considered to be the influential paper of the subject, was written by Zadeh [3]. The aim of using fuzzy logic in the paper is to illustrate the application of fuzzy logic technique to the control of a continuously damping automotive suspension system. The ride comfort is improved by means of the reduction of the body acceleration caused by the car body when road disturbances from smooth road and real road roughness [7,11,15].

The fuzzy logic controller used for the conventional model has three inputs: body acceleration , body velocity

, body deflection velocity and one output: desired

actuator force .

Figure 3, 4, 5 and 6 show the membership functions of the conventional model.

The rule base used in the active suspension system showed in Table 2 with fuzzy terms derived by the designer’s knowledge and experience. The table consists of two parts, the left part has zero body acceleration so the control action was chosen to minimize the relative and the absolute body velocities only. The second part, the body acceleration has positive or negative values so important to modify the control action to minimize it also, which will lead to minimize the suspension working space and the dynamic tire load.

Interesting point is that applying of fuzzy controller to

suspension system with mentioned equations will not obtain acceptable results and states of the system are converging to zero in longer time. simulation results of designed fuzzy controller based on fuzzy rules that mentioned in table 2 are

shown in figure 7, 8. As we seen in figure 7 and 8, we can

conclude that fuzzy controller, singly can’t have good performance in control of conventional model of suspension system.

So we have to use compound controller. using of PID controller that its parameters are set by fuzzy controller recommended. Because we know that fuzzy PID controller has appropriate performance and robustness but because of not being easy on selecting the parameters such as )

(, it’s usually not encountered with significant

welcome. in this paper the goal is determination of these parameters by fuzzy logic. In this context, first we reimburse on how to design these parameters.

4.1. Fuzzy PID Controller

A fuzzy PID controller can be expressed as follows:

Figure 9. Block Diagram of Fuzzy PID Controller

So it’s enough that to give these rules to a fuzzy system till fuzzy system automatically adjust these parameters. Block diagram of fuzzy PID controller is shown in figure 9.Now we will design fuzzy system in figure 9. suppose that

Now we settle on extraction of fuzzy rules. Figure 13 shows the step response of system:

Figure 13.

At first in point we need a big control in order to reach

the system response to the desired point with high speed. In

order to have a big control we should increase parameter

and decrease and also increase the integral gain. But

integral gain is proportional to in reverse so we should

decrease . Therefore we can write fuzzy rule as follows:

Also in point we need small control in order to escape

from big overshot. so we have to decrease parameter and

increase and . Therefore we can write fuzzy rule as

follows:

5. Simulation results

In this paper, it is assumed that the main purpose of the control system design is to improve the ride quality. Thus, to reduce the vertical acceleration of the sprung mass at the resonance frequency near , more weights are put on the

state variables and that correspond to the displacement

and velocity of the sprung mass. The weighting matrices initially selected are:

Compared to the open loop system, the resonance peak near of the controlled system is lower. In this section, the damping ratios of the two dominant poles are raised for the purpose of increasing the rise time. The damping ratio of the first resonance frequency is increased from to

Simulation results of conventional model after applying PID controller which explains on section IV are shown in figure 22 and 23. Comparing figure 22 and 23 with figure 7 and 8, we can see that fuzzy PID controller has better performance than fuzzy controller.

6. Conclusion

PID controller due to the integral term which increases the system type has ability to remove disturbances and step type uncertainties. On the other hand fuzzy systems based on defined membership functions have inherent robustness that will ensure the power of these systems against various disturbances and uncertainties. So combine PID controllers with fuzzy systems offers a controller with acceptable robustness. But in contrast LQR controller is type of optimal controllers, will ensure good performance in case system model is linear and well known, but in the case that parameter uncertainty and external disturbances are exist or system model is nonlinear )it’s usually like this(, there is no guarantee for optimal performance and even closed loop system stability based on this controller.
