NVH and ride and handling improvements for electric vehicles using passive and semi-active interlinked suspension setups

这项研究建议建立和开发用于车辆的被动和半主动连锁悬架装置。它们的开发将使该设置在车辆平顺性和车辆操纵性之间提供令人满意的平衡，并改进传统的被动设置。这是通过首先执行网络综合以开发无源互连和半主动互连设置的数值模型来完成的。在此之后，将进行这些模型的机械、气动或液压实现，然后将对数值模型和物理模型进行测试和比较。预计在半主动装置的数值模拟中会出现困难。然后，当与互连相结合时，可能会出现非线性。这项研究计划还计划在一家主要的悬架制造商田纳科公司和江博士领导的研究团队之间建立联系。它还将与EPSRC‘Digitwin’项目的成果密切相关。

This research proposes to model and develop passive and semi-active interlinked suspension setups for use in vehicles. They are to be developed such that the setup provides a satisfactory balance between vehicle ride and vehicle handling and an improvement over the traditional passive setup. This is intended to be completed by first performing network synthesis to develop numerical models of both the passive interlinked, and the semi-active interlinked setups. After this, mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic realisation of these models is to be undertaken, and then both numerical and physical models will be tested and compared. It is expected for difficulties to arise in the numerical modelling of the semi-active setup. Then when combined with the interlinking, it is possible for non-linearities to arise. This research proposal also plans to provide a link between a major suspension manufacturer, Tenneco, and the research team led by Dr Jiang. It will also be closely linked to the deliverables of the EPSRC 'Digitwin' project.
