Abstract

In this paper, the H∞ fault-tolerant control (FTC) problem of active suspensions with finite-frequency constraints is investigated. A full-car model is employed in the controller design such that the heave, pitch and roll motions can be simultaneously controlled. Both the actuator faults and external disturbance are considered in the controller design. As the human body is more sensitive to the vertical vibration in 4-8Hz, robust H∞ control …
