"A semi-active suspension using a magnetorheological damper with nonlin" by J. Yang, D. Ning et al.
The group of active suspensions with controllable actuating force is noted with their excellent performance in reducing vibrations, however, their demanding requirements for high power consumption and high cost as well as the highly potential instability issue have hindered their practical usage. Semi-active suspensions with controllable stiffness or damping are simple, stable and cost-efficient, but they cannot provide equivalent performance with active suspensions. By incorporating the negative stiffness mechanism into the semi-active suspension using a magnetorheological (MR) damper, this p...
