ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling a shock absorber system of a vehicle that includes a plurality of controlled shock absorbers linearizes the system. The method includes transforming original control inputs of the shock absorbers into virtual damper force input signals based on a bilinear damper characteristic. The system dynamics are then decoupled into modal components using static decoupling matrices, and the system is controlled with a linear decentralized controller.
