Semiactive control strategies for a fully suspended bicycle
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2005) Plaza, Krzysztof
The purpose of this work is to present methods for designing semiactive vibration systems, which include mathematical models of vibrating structures. Thus aspects of model building, identification and verification are described in the paper as well as determination of the performance indices, choice of the damping technique, shock absorber modeling and algorithm selection. The article presents a semiactive vibration system analysis of a fully suspended bicycle. For all of the simulation experiments and serving as a reference for the identification experiment a phenomenological model of the bicycle was developed in the Simulink environment. The model was confronted with the real time experiments, which were conducted with the help of an electrical system. The necessity of the discussion of the various performance indices is underlined. Simple control strategy is tested on the bicycle.
