Long description:

This book introduces an approach of controlling vehicle height and attitude by actively raising and lowering vibration isolators via asymmetric damping adjustment.

The first section of this book identifies the theoretical foundation of asymmetric damping adjustment and discusses practical applications and the significance of this advancement. The second section discusses the mechanics and laws governing the active raising and lowering of the vibration isolator. The final two sections present the application of this method by incorporating a number of control strategies, including model predictive control, hybrid model predictive control, and active disturbance rejection control. The methodology is validated through simulation and co-simulation under various vehicle conditions.

This book will be of interest to automotive engineers and those interested in the field of mechanics, vibration, and control.

"By introducing a novel method for raising and lowering vibration isolators using asymmetric damping, this book provides a significant contribution to the field of isolator height control. I highly recommend it to engineers and researchers involved in vibration isolation and mechanical systems."
