Abstract

This paper investigates the potential of negative stiffness suspensions for enhanced vehicle vibration isolation. By analyzing and improving traditional control algorithms, we propose and experimentally validate novel skyhook, groundhook, and hybrid control strategies for suspensions with negative stiffness characteristics. We establish pavement models, incorporate negative stiffness into suspension modeling, and develop a performance evaluation index. Our research identifies shortcomings of classical semi-active control algorithms and introduces a new band selector to combine improved control methods. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed semi-active suspension control strategy based on negative stiffness effectively reduces body vibration and enhances vehicle ride performance.
