A New Semiactive Variable Stiffness Suspension System Using Combined Skyhook and Nonlinear Energy Sink-Based Controllers

This paper presents the semiactive case of a variable stiffness suspension system. The central concept is based on a recently designed variable stiffness mechanism that consists of a horizontal strut and a vertical strut, both of which are …

Vehicle Roll Stabilization Enhancement Using a Variable Stiffness Architecture: Kinematic Control

A variable stiffness architecture is used in the suspension system to counteract the body roll moment, thereby enhancing the roll stability of the vehicle. The variation of stiffness concept uses the “reciprocal actuation” to effectively transfer …

Roll stabilisation of road vehicles using a variable stiffness suspension system

A variable stiffness architecture is used in the suspension system to counteract the body roll moment, thereby enhancing the roll stability of the vehicle. The variation of stiffness concept uses the ‘reciprocal actuation’ to effectively transfer …

A new variable stiffness suspension system passive case

This paper presents the design, analysis, and experimental validation of the passive case of a variable stiffness suspension system. The central concept is based on a recently designed variable stiffness mechanism. It consists of a horizontal control …
