Semiactive Control Strategies for a Fully Suspended Bicycle MECHANICS Vol. 24 No. 2 2005 MECHANICS Vol. 24 No. 2 2005 Krzysztof PLAZA* SEMIACTIVE CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR A FULLY SUSPENDED BICYCLE SUMMARY The purpose of this work is to present methods for designing semiactive vibration systems, which include mathe- matical models of vibrating structures. Thus aspects of model building, identification and verification are descri- bed in the paper as well as determination of the performance indices, choice of the damping technique, shock ab- sorber modeling and algorithm selection. The article presents a semiactive vibration system analysis of a fully su- spended bicycle. For all of the simulation experiments and serving as a reference for the identification experiment a phenomenological model of the bicycle was developed in the Simulink environment. The model was confronted with the real time experiments, which were conducted with the help of an electrical system. The necessity of the discussion of the various performance indices is underlined. Simple control strategy is tested on the bicycle.

MagnetoRheological (MR) suspension is effective, ho- wever because of the used MR fluids, which are temperatu- re sensitive and loose their agility under stress, there is still work to be done in the field of their design and the design of the control suspension systems with MR fluids. Recently most of the work devoted to applications of the MR and ER suspension dampers concentrates on vibration damping in the automotive machines [4, 5, 7, 11] and beam structures such as buildings or bridges for seismic protec- tion [6, 13, 15]. Although some attempts have been made to construct an MR damper for bicycles [2, 11] few applica- tions if any have been developed to yield a complete control system. Although semiactive suspensions offers low energy ope- ration it is difficult to control because of its nonlinear natu- re since the parameters change serves as a control signal. Furthermore it can only offer vibration damping throughout Fig. 1. MR suspension system in a fully suspended bicycle the control of the energy dissipation.

  • Performance Improvement of Automotive Suspension Systems Using Inerters and an Adaptive Controller
    Performance Improvement of Automotive Suspension Systems using Inerters and an Adaptive Controller by Ankur Agrawal A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 c Ankur Agrawal 2013 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The possible benefits of employing inerters in automotive suspensions are explored for passenger comfort and handling. Different suspension strut designs in terms of the relative arrangement of springs, dampers and inerters have been considered and their performance compared with that of a conventional system. An alternate method of electrically realizing complex mechanical circuits by using a linear motor (or a rotary motor with an appropriate mechanism) and a shunt circuit is then proposed and evaluated for performance. However, the performance improvement is shown from simulations to be significant only for very stiff suspensions, unlike those in passenger vehicles. Hence, the concept is not taken up for prototyping. Variable damping can be implemented in suspension systems in various ways, for exam- ple, using magneto-rheological (MR) fluids, proportional valves, or variable shunt resistance with a linear electromagnetic motor. Hence for a generic variable damping system, a control algorithm is developed which can provide more comfort and better handling simultaneously compared to a passive system. After establishing through simulations that the proposed adaptive control algorithm can demonstrate a performance better than some controllers in prior-art, it is implemented on an actual vehicle (Cadillac STS) which is equipped with MR dampers and several sensors.

Canadian Upgrade Program Overview Canadian wireless service providers plan to decommission their 2G Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network through 2015. OnStar® currently depends on active and functioning 2G CDMA networks to deliver services. As a result, in order to continue to provide OnStar® services without interruption, Canadian vehicles that do not have OnStar® 3G/4G LTE will need a hardware upgrade. In order to upgrade their vehicle hardware and continue receiving OnStar® services, a customer will receive a letter from OnStar® with instructions for the upgrade process when the hardware is available for installation on their vehicle. There are different versions of hardware required for vehicles that will be available at different times in early 2015, so it is important that customers first receive the communication from OnStar® to begin the upgrade process.

Our annual report covers several all-new models that have resulted from this new marketing direction. ord is calling 2005 the Year of the Car, and is introduc- ing brand-new cars and carlike “crossover” vehicles. But Fit’s not alone, as General Motors and the Chrysler Group also are focusing on the passenger car for 2005. At Ford, the new Mustang gets the most head-turning looks, of course, but the new Ford 500 and Mercury Montego sedans, and the Freestyle “almost SUV,” are a higher volume group. At Chrysler, the in-your-face 300 and Dodge Magnum wagon are getting plenty of attention. And GM has several significant new Dodge Magnum cars—the compact Chevrolet Cobalt (which replaces the Cava- lier), Pontiac G6 (replacing the Grand Am), Buick LaCrosse (replacing the Regal and Century), Cadillac STS (replacing the Seville) and the Corvette, which is irreplaceable. Let’s delve further into it and see what the three domestic camps are offering for 2005. Ford The Ford 500 and its sister Mercury Montego clearly are cars, but what’s the Freestyle? The North American Car of the Year jury placed it in the truck/SUV category (it has suspension modifications to increase ride height and a wagon-type body with three-row seating), but it’s technically very close to the 500.

Eldridge Rodowsky Chasanow Raker Wilner Cathell JJ. _______________________________________ Opinion by Chasanow, J. ________________________________________ Filed: April 15, 1999 This case requires that we address the construction of the remedial provisions of Maryland’s Consumer Motor Vehicle Leasing Contracts Act (the Act) for the first time since it was enacted in 1987. Maryland Code (1990 Repl. Vol., 1998 Supp.), Commercial Law Article, § 14-2001 et seq.1 The Act extends the warranty provisions of Maryland’s Automotive Warranty Enforcement Act, § 14-501 et seq., better known as the “lemon law,” to automobile leasing arrangements. The petition arises out of an action filed under the Act by Mr. Thomas J. Murphy, III (Mr. Murphy) against 24th Street Cadillac Corporation, t/a Chesapeake Cadillac Jaguar (Chesapeake) and General Motors (GM). Mr. Murphy seeks to invoke the Act’s remedial provision requiring a manufacturer to accept return of a leased vehicle and refund monies related to the lease agreement.
