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

本研究提出建立被动式与半主动式连结悬吊系统之模型，并应用于车辆上。它们将被开发，这样的设置提供了一个令人满意的平衡之间的车辆行驶和车辆操纵和改进传统的被动设置。这是为了完成第一次执行网络合成，以开发数字模型的被动互联，和半主动互联的设置。在此之后，将对这些模型进行机械、气动或液压实现，然后对数值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天纳克和蒋博士领导的研究小组之间建立联系。它还将与EPSRC 'Digitwin'项目的交付成果密切相关。

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.
