Computational modeling demonstrates optimal piecewise affine control in quarter-car semi-active suspensions, revealing that standard clipped-optimal strategies deviate from multi-step optimality.

Key Points

Determine the true mathematical structure of optimal control laws for constrained semi-active vehicle suspensions and evaluate whether standard clipped-optimal strategies preserve optimality.
Formulated the constrained quarter-car semi-active suspension as a switching affine hybrid dynamical system incorporating passivity constraints, actuator force saturation, and power dissipation boundaries.
Implemented finite-horizon hybrid model predictive control (MPC) solved via mixed-integer quadratic programming and derived explicit piecewise affine state feedback laws for short prediction horizons.
Evaluated dynamic controller response against conventional clipped linear quadratic regulators (LQR) under deterministic shock inputs and stochastic road disturbances.
Proved analytically that the explicit hybrid MPC law matches clipped LQR when the prediction horizon equals one, but deviates into a distinct piecewise affine structure over longer horizons.
Simulations demonstrated superior vibration attenuation and control performance for hybrid MPC over conventional clipped-optimal laws under both shock and random disturbance conditions.
