Tutorial on semi-active suspension systems 3

[toolshed]

Hi! Brand new to the list, and to this topic in general.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good (but pretty BASIC) tutorials on suspension systems, specifically semi-active suspension systems. Websites, books, technical papers, whatever.

My level of knowledge is very low, so I want to start at the bottom and work my way up. So, in your suggestions, I appreciate you assuming I know little or nothing about suspension systems, let alone semi-active ones.

(In truth, I know a little, but don't feel comfortable enough with the topic yet and want to get more background. Maybe even a tutorial on suspension systems first, working up into semi-active and active control, and eventually into theories like skyhook, etc.)

Thanks...Toolshed

What do you mean by semi-active?

Do you have a reasonable understanding of control theory?

If you haven't done so I suggest you read and understand Milliken's Race Car Vehicle Dynamics.

More specifically, you can find SAE technical papers at

http://www.sae.org/servlets/techtrack?PROD_TYP=PAPER.

Greg did all the hard work of giving you the paper numbers and titles, so they should be easy to find. You will have to purchase them, but a wonderful resource.
