Chapter 12 SEMI-ACTIVE SUSPENSIONS 12.1 INTRODUCTION A semi-active suspension system utilizes a variable damper or other variable dissipation component in the automotive suspension. An example of a variable dissipator is a twin tube viscous damper in which the damping coefficient can be varied by changing the diameter of the orifice in a piston. variable orifice Figure 12-1.Schematic of a variable orifice damper 358 Chapter 12 Figure 12-1 shows the schematic of a twin tube variable orifice damper in which the orifice diameter can be varied with electronic control. As the piston moves inside the cylinder, it causes fluid flow through the orifice. A larger orifice provides less dissipative resistance while a smaller orifice provides increased dissipative resistance. To use the variable orifice damper as a semi-active actuator, the opening of the orifice is determined in real time by feedback control laws. Thus the damping provided by the device is varied in real time by feedback control. Another example of a semi-active dissipator is a magneto rheological (MR) damper which uses MR fluid. A MR damper is shown in Figure 12-2. Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are materials that respond to an applied magnetic field with a change in rheological behavior. Typically, this change is manifested by the development of a yield stress that monotonically increases with applied magnetic field. The dissipative force provided by the damper can be controlled by controlling the electromagnetic field. Accumulator Diaphragm N2 - 20 Bar / Annular Orifii Bearing
