ABSTRACT:
A controller for a quarter car variable force suspension system responds to a signal representative of the system state. In response to the system state signal, the controller provides an actuator force control signal commanding (i) low level damping force when a magnitude value of the system state signal is below a magnitude of a dead zone limit, (ii) maximum available actuator force when the magnitude of the system state signal is above a magnitude of a boundary layer limit and (iii) actuator force proportional to the magnitude of the system state signal when the magnitude of the system state signal is above the magnitude of the dead zone limit and below the magnitude of the boundary layer limit, whereby the suspension system does not chatter and is not affected by system state signal error.
