A hybrid sliding mode controller design for vibration suppression in a hydraulic suspension system with vertical load disturbance

Abstract

Anti-disturbance vibration control is a crucial component in a hydraulic suspension system. However, random input excitation and prolonged service can cause hydraulic suspension system parameters to drift, leading to system vibration with suppression failure. The resulting states of nonlinearity and disturbance will lead to a gradual deterioration of pressure control. Therefore, designing a viable controller for a hydraulic suspension system that considers system nonlinearity, computing capacity, and sensor configuration is essential. To address this need, we present a double-layer control strategy in this work. A hybrid sliding mode control algorithm based on the reference skyhook and groundhook model is proposed to regulate the expected force of reverse compensation. An output controller is then applied based on the expected force observer to mitigate low-frequency vibrations to realize a steady state. A logic rule is designed to ensure that the two controllers work to suppress sprung mass vibration, and a comprehensive system model is derived to help characterize system nonlinearities and design the hybrid sliding model controller. Numerical and physical validations are then carried out to demonstrate the feasibility of the strategy and test the performance of the controller. The experimental results show that the hybrid sliding mode controller can suppress vibration under disturbance excitation and reduce the vibration acceleration to a 2.3 m/s2 random response when system parameters vary.

Observer-Based Adaptive Sliding Mode Compensation Position-Tracking Control for Drilling Tool Attitude Adjustment

“…A sliding mode controller with disturbances rejection for the electrohydraulic asymmetric cylinder system is designed to achieve accurate position control and attenuate the disturbances, including model uncertainties, and external disturbance [ 26 ]. A hybrid sliding mode controller is designed with load disturbance suppression, and the chattering phenomenon is reduced [ 27 ]. Although the SMC method is effective in different application areas, relevant application of the SMC method in the DTAAS is still scarce.…”

Adaptive End-Effector Buffeting Sliding Mode Control for Heavy-Duty Robots with Long Arms

“…Huang Hua proposed an adaptive fuzzy sliding-mode control scheme to improve the trajectory-tracking accuracy of the two-link flexible manipulator and suppress vibration, and proved that the scheme is more effective than the PID controller and the traditional sliding-mode controller [5]. In order to solve the problem of vibrations in the hydraulic suspension system caused by random input excitation and long-term use, Gu Jianhua proposed a hybrid sliding-mode controller, which was proved by experiments to effectively suppress hydraulic suspension vibrations caused by disturbance excitations [6]. Suksabai and Nattapong proposed an input shaping control based on sliding-mode design to reduce the residual vibration of cranes under uncertain parameters [7].…”
