Energy parameters of the vehicle electromagnetic shock absorber

The creation of an electromagnetic shock absorber system is necessary taking into account such parameters of the vehicle and operating conditions as the quality of the roadway, the grades, and the weight and size of the vehicle. A mathematical simulation model of the vehicle was developed to determine energy indicators in various road sections. The MATLAB Simulink programming environment was chosen to create the most practical and functional simulation model. A number of experiments were carried out using various parameters of the vehicle, types of roadways and driving cycles. Simulation results allow obtaining basic characteristics of electromagnetic damper of the selected vehicle, on the basis of which a linear electromagnetic damper shock absorber will be calculated. System energy efficiency was determined when using a vehicle on roads having a different road surface evenness index.
