Lab 7 LCSF

This document models and simulates a car suspension system using MATLAB Simulink. It develops mathematical models of the car body and wheel displacement as transfer functions. Simulations are run with and without PID control, showing that PID control decreases body and wheel displacement on bumpy road surfaces, improving ride comfort.

Introduction
Car suspension systems and shocks, while others
make your ride smooth by have fancy controls to make
absorbing bumps on the the ride even smoother
road. Some cars have while keeping the car
simple setups with springs
steady.
Mathematical Modeling

Mb=Mass of car body=2500Kg


Mw=Mass of wheel=320Kg
Xb= displacement of car body
Xw=displacement of wheel Kb=spring constant between body
and wheel=80000 N/m Kw=spring constant between wheel and
road=500000 N/m
Cb=damping body and wheel

Transfer function of give system is as follow

To model in time domain wo find the


equation of 𝑋𝑏′′ and Xw′′

Certainly, here's the equation in a format that you can copy:

xb'' = -(b1/m1)* xb' - (k1/m1) * xb + (b1/m1) * xw'' + (k1/m1) * xwAnd


similarly, equation for xw is given as follow.

xw”=-(b1/m1)*xw’ + (k1+k2)/m2*(xw)+
(b1/m2)*xb’+(k1/m2)*xb+(k2/m2)*zr

Using above equation in matlab Simulink we obtain xb and


xw by using integrator block as follow

Zr represents road disturbances, modeled as a sine wave. The


middle box has integrator gain, adder, and subtracter. The
third block, with a PID controller, uses proportional control to
reduce rise time and derivative control to improve transient
response.

Conclusion:
This lab
focuses on
a control
strategy
for a car's
suspensio
n system.
We look
at body
displacem
ent, which
tells us
how
comfortab
le the ride
is for
passenger
s, and
wheel
displacem
ent, which
shows
how well
the
vehicle
handles.
We notice
that using
PID
control
can
decrease
the output
intensity,
although it
might take
longer for
the system
to
stabilize.
Once we
figure out
the
parameter
s, we can
apply this
control
setup to a
real
quarter-
car
suspensio
n system.
