Abstract
This paper deals with the vibration control problem for active suspension systems with actuator delay. Based on the model transformation, the actuator-delayed system is transformed into an equivalent nondelayed one. The delay effect is compensated by a control memory term in the designed controller. The vehicle vibration is reduced by a feedforward compensator. An observer is constructed to make the disturbance state in feedforward control physically realizable. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness and the simplicity of the proposed controller.
