Figure (a) shows a schematic diagram of an automobile
suspension system.
Problem 3
• As the car moves along the road,
the vertical displacements at the
tires act as the motion excitation to
the automobile suspension system.
• The motion of this system consists
of a translational motion of the
center of mass and a rotational
motion about the center of mass.
Mathematical modeling of the
complete system is quite
complicated.
A very simplified version of the
suspension system is shown in Figure (b).
Problem 3 contd…
• The input u is a displacement input.
• Assume that displacements x and y
are measured from respective
steady-state positions in the absence
of the input u.
(Consider the motion of the body only in the
vertical direction.)
