Tóm tắt

This paper discusses the improvement of the tracking accuracy on an automotive suspension test rig by extending the available industrial off-line controller with a H/sub /spl infin// feedback controller. To reach a prescribed accuracy level in a bandwidth between 0 and 20 Hz, the off-line controller needs 7 iterations on a 2-axial durability suspension test rig to determine the correct control inputs. The extended scheme employs H/sub /spl infin// control techniques to achieve the same result in only 3 iterations. This approach takes forward the process of durability testing to a point where the required accuracy can be achieved in significantly less time.
