Semi-Active Suspension System for 2S1 Tracked Platform in Application of Improvement of the Vehicle Body Stability

“…Next question is connected with practical realization of SA suspension system. The answer is put forward in Wray's et al article [4]. They describe SA suspension system based on Magneto-Rheological (MR) damper.…”

A Rotary Magnetorheological Damper for a Tracked Vehicle

“…Recently, various semi-active suspension systems featuring MR fluid have been widely proposed and successfully applied in a wide variety of military vehicles [1]. Unlike passive suspension with fixed characteristics, these suspensions with patented self-adapting control strategy increased off-road speeds, improved ride quality, and helped with platform stability thereby reducing potential for vehicle damage [2] . However, most of previous researches focused on linear MR dampers.…”
