Abstract
The self-powered active vibration control systems, which produce control force using energy regenerated by dampers are applied to suspensions of rubber-tired vehicles. Such systems do not require external energy to produce control force. To discuss the feasibility, the balance between the regenerated and the consumed energy is examined through numerical simulations. The results indicate that the system can achieve active control that has better isolation performance than a passive and a semi-active control system under the condition only with the regenerated energy.
