Abstract:

To overcome the nonlinear disturbance such as actuator delay and external random input in Active Suspension System (ASS), and reduce its dependence on high-cost sensors, an Output Feedback Observer-based Robust Model Predictive Anti-disturbance Control (OB-RMPAC) strategy is proposed. Firstly, the dynamics model of half-car active suspension system is established considering the nonlinear disturbance of actuator delay. Secondly, an output feedback observer which can accurately estimate the state of ASS under external nonlinear input disturbance is constructed by applying the quadratic boundedness condition. Thirdly, the robust model predictive anti-disturbance control strategy that satisfies multiple constraints of ASS is designed by combining invariant set theory, linear matrix inequality and convex optimization techniques. Finally, the recursive feasibility and robust stability of the closed-loop predictive control system are analyzed and proved. The test results show that the OB-RMPAC strategy proposed in this paper can significantly improve the dynamic performance of vehicle equipped with ASS on the basis of accurate estimation of system state.
