ABSTRACT
This paper analyzes the performance analysis of vehicle air inerter-spring-damper (ISD) suspension systems. First of all, this paper establishes the air ISD suspension with series-connected inerter and with parallel-connected inerter which are the quarter car model of the two basic vehicle suspension layouts involving an inerter. After that, the primary parameters are optimized through particle swarm optimization by considering the overall performance, including vehicle body acceleration, suspension working space and dynamic tire load. The simulation analysis reveals that all of the dynamic performance indexes of the vehicle air ISD suspension are significantly decreased by comparing to the conventional air suspension. A bench test was carried out to verify that the model assumptions and simplifications are correctly formulated.
