1 Introduction

The suspension system of vehicles is meant to isolate thevehicle body and passengers from oscillations imposed byroad irregularities and maintain continuous contact betweenthe tires and surface of the road Suspension systems providea smoother ride and help the operator to maintain controlof the vehicle over rough terrain or during sudden stops [1]Hysteresis is an important aspect of suspension design andthe development of smart materials for vehicle suspensionsystems with hysteretic damping has been the subject ofconsiderable studies [2ndash5] The fact that the damping forcein a vehiclersquos suspension system is hysteretic means that roadexcitation can be modeled as a multifrequency harmonicfunction Therefore automotive suspension systems may beconsidered a nonlinear hysteretic system with multifre-quency excitation

Nonlinear phenomena of codimension bifurcations havebeen studied extensively particularly in engineering systems[6ndash8] Tseng and Tung [9] examined the bifurcation behaviorof a nonlinear structure with a magnetic actuator Yagasaki[10] investigated nonlinear dynamics and the bifurcationbehavior of a pendulum with feedback control Tian et al

issue of codimension bifurcations has largely been over-looked

In this study we examined a suspension system present-ing codimension-two bifurcation andhomoclinic orbits bothof which determine the nature of the dynamic behavior andthe existence of strange attractors We sought to calculatethe strange attractor using numerical simulation in whichexternal forces from a road profile are added to the systemas a parameter with a specific range of values We employedbifurcation diagrams phase portraits Poincare maps fre-quency spectra and Lyapunov exponents to explain periodicand chaotic motions in a vehicle suspension system thatexerts hysteretic nonlinear damping forces Algorithms thatcomputes Lyapunov exponents for smooth dynamic systems[20] were used to determine whether the system exhibitschaotic motion

Chaotic behavior is normally considered undesirable dueto the restrictions it imposes on the operating range of electri-cal and mechanical devices Many engineering problems canonly be resolved by driving a chaotic attractor in a periodicorbit Numerousmethods have been proposed for the controlof chaos [21ndash23] including suspension systems [15 24 25] Inthis study we adopted the simple control method proposedby Cai et al [26] in which state feedback is used to convertchaotic motion into stable motion Numerical simulationsdemonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach

This paper is organized as follows Section 2 describesthe proposed vehicle suspension system using a quarter-car model under kinematic excitation by a road surfaceprofile Section 3 outlines the local bifurcation analysis usedto identify codimension-two bifurcation and homoclinicorbits Section 4 elucidates the complex dynamic behaviorin the suspension system using numerical analysis such asa bifurcation diagrams phase portraits Poincare maps andfrequency spectra Section 5 presents the Lyapunov exponentused to determine whether the system exhibits chaoticmotion A state feedback control technique for controllingchaos in the suspension system is presented in Section 6Conclusions are drawn in Section 7

2 Formulation of Problem

Figure 1 presents quarter-car model with a single degree-of-freedom and hysteretic nonlinear damping The equation ofmotion for the system was formulated by Li et al [14]

119898 + 1198961 (119909 minus 1199090) + 119865ℎ = 0 (1)

where 119865ℎ is an additional nonlinear hysteretic suspensiondamping and stiffness force which is dependent on therelative displacement and velocity

119865ℎ = 1198962 (119909 minus 1199090)3 + 1198621 ( minus 0) + 1198622 ( minus 0)3 1199090 = 119886 sin (Ω119905) (2)

In defining the relative vertical displacement as 119910 = 119909 minus 1199090(1) can be written as follows

119910 + 1205962119910 + 11986111199103 + 1198612 119910 + 1198613 1199103 = 119860 sin (Ω119905) (3)

3 Local Codimension-TwoBifurcation Analysis

Our main objective in this analysis is to observe thequalitative behavior of the system and how it changes assystem parameters are varied Changes occurring near theequilibrium point of the system are referred to as localbifurcation The codimension of bifurcation refers to theminimumnumber of parameters that must be varied in orderto observe a specific type of bifurcation [8]

Journal of Advanced Transportation 3

Nonlinear analysis must be based on linear analysisBifurcation analysis is based on the Jacobian matrix in (4a)and (4b) When (1198961 1198881) = (0 0) and the Jacobian matrix hasdouble-zero eigenvalues of the form of [ 0 10 0 ] we have themost degenerate situation (eigenvalues with zero real part)that is a double-zero codimension-two bifurcation problemBifurcation equations can be written as follows

1199101 = 1199102 (5a)

1199102 = minus119861111991013 + higher order terms (5b)

Bifurcation equations (5a) and (5b) take the normal formbecause they are the simplest forms of the equations ofmotion [8 27ndash30]

The blow-up technique is used to checkwhether the cubicterms in (5a) and (5b) determine local behavior The blow-up technique involves a singular change to the coordinatesthat expands degenerate fixed points into circles containinga finite number of fixed points If these fixed points arehyperbolic following the first change in the coordinates thenthe local flow near the circle (and consequently flow near theoriginal fixed point) remains stable with respect to higher-order terms If these fixed points are all degenerate then thecoordinates must be changed again If all of the fixed pointsbecome hyperbolic within a finite number of coordinatechanges then a system with only lower-order terms willexhibit the same qualitative behavior as the overall system [8]The steps used in the blow-up method are as follows

First Blow-Up

1199101 = 119903 cos 120579 (6a)

1199102 = 119903 sin 120579 (6b)

Equations (5a) (5b) and (6a) (6b) become

119903 = 119903 sin 120579 (1 minus 11986111199032cos2120579) + hot (7a)

120579 = minussin2120579 minus 11986111199032cos4120579 + hot (7b)

Stability analysis reveals that the system has two degener-ate equilibrium points (0 0) and (0 120587) which means that theblow-up procedure must be repeated In the case of (0 0) thepower series in normal form is

119903 = 119903120579 + hot (8a)

120579 = minus1205792 minus 11986111199032 + hot (8b)

Second Blow-Up Let

119903 = 120588 sin120601 (9a)

120579 = 120588 cos120601 (9b)

so that (8a) (8b) and (9a) (9b) become

120588 = minus1205882 cos120601 (1198611sin2120601 + cos2120601) + hot (10a)

120601 = 120588 sin120601 (2cos2120601 minus 1198611sin2120601) + hot (10b)

After dividing by the unaffected common component 120588(10a) and (10b) have two hyperbolic fixed points (0 0) and(0 120587) Thus no further blow-up is required

For the other equilibrium point (0 120587) the power seriesin the normal form is the same as the power series used for(8a) and (8b) such that the same results are obtained Thedegenerate field contains cubic terms of the lowest order andunfolding is performed using the two-parameter family asfollows

1199101 = 1199102 (11a)

1199102 = 11987011199101 + 11987021199102 minus 119861111991013 (11b)

where 1198701 = minus1198961119898 1198702 = minus1198881119898 The higher-order terms in(11a) and (11b) are disregarded when applied as an alternativefor (4a) and (4b)

The term ldquobifurcation setrdquo refers to a set in parameterspace on which the system bifurcates It is obtained fromunfolded equations in the normal form

There are three equilibrium points in this case

1 (0 0) for all119870111987022 (plusmnradic11987011198611) for1198701 gt 0

By checking the stability of these equilibrium points weobtain the following

(1) For 1198701 = 0 a subcritical pitchfork bifurcation occurs if1198702 gt 0 and a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation occurs if1198702 lt 0(2) For 1198701 gt 0 and 1198702 = 0 a rescaling technique and Mel-nikovrsquos perturbation method are used to obtain the completebifurcation set associated with homoclinic orbits in theunfolding bifurcation equations (11a) and (11b) [8]

Let 1199101 = 120598119906 1199102 = 1205982V 1198701 = 1205982V1 1198702 = 1205983V2 119905 rarr 120598119905Thus after rescaling (11a) and (11b) are rewritten as

= V (12a)

V = V1119906 + 1205982VV2 minus 11986111199063 (12b)

Melnikovrsquos method is then used to characterize the relation-ship between 1198701 and1198702

After a series of operations the following expression isobtained

1198702 = 0 (13a)

1198701 = 11986111205983 (13b)

Equations (13a) and (13b) yield the homoclinic saddle con-nection referred to as homoclinic bifurcation

(3) For 1198701 lt 0 and 1198702 = 0 the Jacobian matrix in (11a) and(11b) is written as

DF (0 0) = [ 0 11198701 0] (14)

According to the Hopf bifurcation theorem [8] coeffi-cient a must not equal zero In this case the coefficient aequals zero therefore there is no Hopf bifurcation

Numerical simulations using (4a) and (4b) were per-formed to check the validity of this bifurcation analysisThe parameter space was divided into several regions usingbifurcation sets as shown in Figure 2 The commercial

The analysis presented in Section 4 is insufficient to confi-dently identify chaotic motion in a suspension system In thissection we adopt Lyapunov exponents to verify the existenceof chaotic motion In every dynamic system the spectrumof Lyapunov exponents (120582) [20] indicates variations in thelengths areas and volumes of the phase space Verifying theexistence of chaos requires calculation of only the largestexponent to indicate whether nearby trajectories diverge

(120582 gt 0) or converge (120582 lt 0) on average Any boundedmotionwithin a system that has at least one positive Lyapunovexponent is defined as chaotic The Lyapunov exponents forperiodic motion are not positive

Figure 15 plots the evolution of the largest Lyapunovexponent in a suspension system This value is computedusing the algorithm presented by Wolf et al [20] Figure 14shows that chaotic motion began at approximately Ω =7965 rads because at point (1198751) the sign of the largestLyapunov exponent changed from negative to positive as theparameterΩ slowly decreased Between points1198751 and1198752 thelargest Lyapunov exponent approached zeroThe existence ofa forcing frequency Ω in these regions denotes the motionin the system as quasiperiodic When the value of Ω isgreater than 1198751 (such as when Ω = 82 rads) the Lyapunovexponents obtained using (3) are 1205821 = minus00010375 and 1205822 =minus00013232The sum of these values is 1205821+1205822 = minus00023607this negative value demonstrates that the motion of massat these values eventually converges to a stable limit cycleUsing the Lyapunov exponents for a dynamical system where1205821 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120582119899 Kaplan and Yorke [32] provided an estimationof the Lyapunov dimension 119889119871 as follows

issue of codimension bifurcations has largely been over-looked

In this study we examined a suspension system present-ing codimension-two bifurcation andhomoclinic orbits bothof which determine the nature of the dynamic behavior andthe existence of strange attractors We sought to calculatethe strange attractor using numerical simulation in whichexternal forces from a road profile are added to the systemas a parameter with a specific range of values We employedbifurcation diagrams phase portraits Poincare maps fre-quency spectra and Lyapunov exponents to explain periodicand chaotic motions in a vehicle suspension system thatexerts hysteretic nonlinear damping forces Algorithms thatcomputes Lyapunov exponents for smooth dynamic systems[20] were used to determine whether the system exhibitschaotic motion

Chaotic behavior is normally considered undesirable dueto the restrictions it imposes on the operating range of electri-cal and mechanical devices Many engineering problems canonly be resolved by driving a chaotic attractor in a periodicorbit Numerousmethods have been proposed for the controlof chaos [21ndash23] including suspension systems [15 24 25] Inthis study we adopted the simple control method proposedby Cai et al [26] in which state feedback is used to convertchaotic motion into stable motion Numerical simulationsdemonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach

This paper is organized as follows Section 2 describesthe proposed vehicle suspension system using a quarter-car model under kinematic excitation by a road surfaceprofile Section 3 outlines the local bifurcation analysis usedto identify codimension-two bifurcation and homoclinicorbits Section 4 elucidates the complex dynamic behaviorin the suspension system using numerical analysis such asa bifurcation diagrams phase portraits Poincare maps andfrequency spectra Section 5 presents the Lyapunov exponentused to determine whether the system exhibits chaoticmotion A state feedback control technique for controllingchaos in the suspension system is presented in Section 6Conclusions are drawn in Section 7

2 Formulation of Problem

Figure 1 presents quarter-car model with a single degree-of-freedom and hysteretic nonlinear damping The equation ofmotion for the system was formulated by Li et al [14]

119898 + 1198961 (119909 minus 1199090) + 119865ℎ = 0 (1)

where 119865ℎ is an additional nonlinear hysteretic suspensiondamping and stiffness force which is dependent on therelative displacement and velocity

119865ℎ = 1198962 (119909 minus 1199090)3 + 1198621 ( minus 0) + 1198622 ( minus 0)3 1199090 = 119886 sin (Ω119905) (2)

In defining the relative vertical displacement as 119910 = 119909 minus 1199090(1) can be written as follows

119910 + 1205962119910 + 11986111199103 + 1198612 119910 + 1198613 1199103 = 119860 sin (Ω119905) (3)

3 Local Codimension-TwoBifurcation Analysis

Our main objective in this analysis is to observe thequalitative behavior of the system and how it changes assystem parameters are varied Changes occurring near theequilibrium point of the system are referred to as localbifurcation The codimension of bifurcation refers to theminimumnumber of parameters that must be varied in orderto observe a specific type of bifurcation [8]

Journal of Advanced Transportation 3

Nonlinear analysis must be based on linear analysisBifurcation analysis is based on the Jacobian matrix in (4a)and (4b) When (1198961 1198881) = (0 0) and the Jacobian matrix hasdouble-zero eigenvalues of the form of [ 0 10 0 ] we have themost degenerate situation (eigenvalues with zero real part)that is a double-zero codimension-two bifurcation problemBifurcation equations can be written as follows

1199101 = 1199102 (5a)

1199102 = minus119861111991013 + higher order terms (5b)

Bifurcation equations (5a) and (5b) take the normal formbecause they are the simplest forms of the equations ofmotion [8 27ndash30]

The blow-up technique is used to checkwhether the cubicterms in (5a) and (5b) determine local behavior The blow-up technique involves a singular change to the coordinatesthat expands degenerate fixed points into circles containinga finite number of fixed points If these fixed points arehyperbolic following the first change in the coordinates thenthe local flow near the circle (and consequently flow near theoriginal fixed point) remains stable with respect to higher-order terms If these fixed points are all degenerate then thecoordinates must be changed again If all of the fixed pointsbecome hyperbolic within a finite number of coordinatechanges then a system with only lower-order terms willexhibit the same qualitative behavior as the overall system [8]The steps used in the blow-up method are as follows

First Blow-Up

1199101 = 119903 cos 120579 (6a)

1199102 = 119903 sin 120579 (6b)

Equations (5a) (5b) and (6a) (6b) become

119903 = 119903 sin 120579 (1 minus 11986111199032cos2120579) + hot (7a)

120579 = minussin2120579 minus 11986111199032cos4120579 + hot (7b)

Stability analysis reveals that the system has two degener-ate equilibrium points (0 0) and (0 120587) which means that theblow-up procedure must be repeated In the case of (0 0) thepower series in normal form is

119903 = 119903120579 + hot (8a)

120579 = minus1205792 minus 11986111199032 + hot (8b)

Second Blow-Up Let

119903 = 120588 sin120601 (9a)

120579 = 120588 cos120601 (9b)

so that (8a) (8b) and (9a) (9b) become

120588 = minus1205882 cos120601 (1198611sin2120601 + cos2120601) + hot (10a)

120601 = 120588 sin120601 (2cos2120601 minus 1198611sin2120601) + hot (10b)

After dividing by the unaffected common component 120588(10a) and (10b) have two hyperbolic fixed points (0 0) and(0 120587) Thus no further blow-up is required

For the other equilibrium point (0 120587) the power seriesin the normal form is the same as the power series used for(8a) and (8b) such that the same results are obtained Thedegenerate field contains cubic terms of the lowest order andunfolding is performed using the two-parameter family asfollows

1199101 = 1199102 (11a)

1199102 = 11987011199101 + 11987021199102 minus 119861111991013 (11b)

where 1198701 = minus1198961119898 1198702 = minus1198881119898 The higher-order terms in(11a) and (11b) are disregarded when applied as an alternativefor (4a) and (4b)

The term ldquobifurcation setrdquo refers to a set in parameterspace on which the system bifurcates It is obtained fromunfolded equations in the normal form

There are three equilibrium points in this case

1 (0 0) for all119870111987022 (plusmnradic11987011198611) for1198701 gt 0

By checking the stability of these equilibrium points weobtain the following

(1) For 1198701 = 0 a subcritical pitchfork bifurcation occurs if1198702 gt 0 and a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation occurs if1198702 lt 0(2) For 1198701 gt 0 and 1198702 = 0 a rescaling technique and Mel-nikovrsquos perturbation method are used to obtain the completebifurcation set associated with homoclinic orbits in theunfolding bifurcation equations (11a) and (11b) [8]

Let 1199101 = 120598119906 1199102 = 1205982V 1198701 = 1205982V1 1198702 = 1205983V2 119905 rarr 120598119905Thus after rescaling (11a) and (11b) are rewritten as

= V (12a)

V = V1119906 + 1205982VV2 minus 11986111199063 (12b)

Melnikovrsquos method is then used to characterize the relation-ship between 1198701 and1198702

After a series of operations the following expression isobtained

1198702 = 0 (13a)

1198701 = 11986111205983 (13b)

Equations (13a) and (13b) yield the homoclinic saddle con-nection referred to as homoclinic bifurcation

(3) For 1198701 lt 0 and 1198702 = 0 the Jacobian matrix in (11a) and(11b) is written as

DF (0 0) = [ 0 11198701 0] (14)

In (3) the amplitude of the road excitation 119886 equals005m We performed a series of numerical simulationsusing (3) to determine the characteristics of this systemDynamic behaviors can be more clearly observed over arange of parameter values in bifurcation diagrams which arewidely used to describe transitions from periodic motion tochaoticmotion in dynamic systemsThe resulting bifurcationdiagram is presented in Figure 8 This figure clearly showschaotic motion in region A Region C presents period-1motion and there is a stable equilibrium point In this regioneach response was characterized using a phase portrait aPoincare map (velocity versus phase angle) and a frequencyspectrum Figure 9 shows that the equilibrium point of thesystem is stable if parameter Ω exists in region C It is well-known that road excitation covers a wide range frequenciesand higher vehicle velocities increase excitation from theroad surface The range of human sensitivity to frequency isfrom 4 to 8Hz (about 2512 rads to 5024 rads) thereforewe limited this investigation to the case of Ω = 400 radsFigure 10 shows the periodic motion in the system in caseswhere the parameter exists in regionC (ieΩ = 82 rads andΩ = 40 rads) The amplitude of road excitation is defined as005m while the response of the system (even in periodicmotion) has an amplitude of near 035m (Figure 9) Clearlythis response is not acceptable When parameter Ω existsin region B quasiperiodic motion occurs in this regionAs shown in Figures 11ndash13 the quasiperiodic trajectoryis restricted to an annular-like region of the state spaceand differs considerably from periodic trajectories When

5 Analysis of Chaotic Phenomena LyapunovExponent and Lyapunov Dimension

The analysis presented in Section 4 is insufficient to confi-dently identify chaotic motion in a suspension system In thissection we adopt Lyapunov exponents to verify the existenceof chaotic motion In every dynamic system the spectrumof Lyapunov exponents (120582) [20] indicates variations in thelengths areas and volumes of the phase space Verifying theexistence of chaos requires calculation of only the largestexponent to indicate whether nearby trajectories diverge

(120582 gt 0) or converge (120582 lt 0) on average Any boundedmotionwithin a system that has at least one positive Lyapunovexponent is defined as chaotic The Lyapunov exponents forperiodic motion are not positive

Figure 15 plots the evolution of the largest Lyapunovexponent in a suspension system This value is computedusing the algorithm presented by Wolf et al [20] Figure 14shows that chaotic motion began at approximately Ω =7965 rads because at point (1198751) the sign of the largestLyapunov exponent changed from negative to positive as theparameterΩ slowly decreased Between points1198751 and1198752 thelargest Lyapunov exponent approached zeroThe existence ofa forcing frequency Ω in these regions denotes the motionin the system as quasiperiodic When the value of Ω isgreater than 1198751 (such as when Ω = 82 rads) the Lyapunovexponents obtained using (3) are 1205821 = minus00010375 and 1205822 =minus00013232The sum of these values is 1205821+1205822 = minus00023607this negative value demonstrates that the motion of massat these values eventually converges to a stable limit cycleUsing the Lyapunov exponents for a dynamical system where1205821 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120582119899 Kaplan and Yorke [32] provided an estimationof the Lyapunov dimension 119889119871 as follows

where 119909(119905) isin 119877119899 is the state vector and 119891 =(1198911 119891119894 119891119899) where 119891119894 is a linear or a nonlinearfunction and 119891 includes at least one nonlinear function If119891119896(119909 119905) is a nonlinear function that gives chaotic motionin (20) then only one term of the state feedback for theavailable system variable 119909119898 is added to the equation thatincludes 119891119896 as follows

119896 = 119891119896 (119909 119905) + 119866119909119898 119896 119898 isin 1 2 119899 (21)

In many general systems that involve chaotic dynamicsthis state feedback technique does not require preliminaryor on-line analysis of the system dynamics and can beimplemented by adding the feedback of a suitable variable tothe original system with sufficient control gain to suppressthe development of chaos In this regard the state feedbackcontrol technique is simple and effective approach to chaossuppression

Journal of Advanced Transportation 3

Nonlinear analysis must be based on linear analysisBifurcation analysis is based on the Jacobian matrix in (4a)and (4b) When (1198961 1198881) = (0 0) and the Jacobian matrix hasdouble-zero eigenvalues of the form of [ 0 10 0 ] we have themost degenerate situation (eigenvalues with zero real part)that is a double-zero codimension-two bifurcation problemBifurcation equations can be written as follows

1199101 = 1199102 (5a)

1199102 = minus119861111991013 + higher order terms (5b)

Bifurcation equations (5a) and (5b) take the normal formbecause they are the simplest forms of the equations ofmotion [8 27ndash30]

The blow-up technique is used to checkwhether the cubicterms in (5a) and (5b) determine local behavior The blow-up technique involves a singular change to the coordinatesthat expands degenerate fixed points into circles containinga finite number of fixed points If these fixed points arehyperbolic following the first change in the coordinates thenthe local flow near the circle (and consequently flow near theoriginal fixed point) remains stable with respect to higher-order terms If these fixed points are all degenerate then thecoordinates must be changed again If all of the fixed pointsbecome hyperbolic within a finite number of coordinatechanges then a system with only lower-order terms willexhibit the same qualitative behavior as the overall system [8]The steps used in the blow-up method are as follows

First Blow-Up

1199101 = 119903 cos 120579 (6a)

1199102 = 119903 sin 120579 (6b)

Equations (5a) (5b) and (6a) (6b) become

119903 = 119903 sin 120579 (1 minus 11986111199032cos2120579) + hot (7a)

120579 = minussin2120579 minus 11986111199032cos4120579 + hot (7b)

Stability analysis reveals that the system has two degener-ate equilibrium points (0 0) and (0 120587) which means that theblow-up procedure must be repeated In the case of (0 0) thepower series in normal form is

119903 = 119903120579 + hot (8a)

120579 = minus1205792 minus 11986111199032 + hot (8b)

Second Blow-Up Let

119903 = 120588 sin120601 (9a)

120579 = 120588 cos120601 (9b)

so that (8a) (8b) and (9a) (9b) become

120588 = minus1205882 cos120601 (1198611sin2120601 + cos2120601) + hot (10a)

120601 = 120588 sin120601 (2cos2120601 minus 1198611sin2120601) + hot (10b)

After dividing by the unaffected common component 120588(10a) and (10b) have two hyperbolic fixed points (0 0) and(0 120587) Thus no further blow-up is required

For the other equilibrium point (0 120587) the power seriesin the normal form is the same as the power series used for(8a) and (8b) such that the same results are obtained Thedegenerate field contains cubic terms of the lowest order andunfolding is performed using the two-parameter family asfollows

1199101 = 1199102 (11a)

1199102 = 11987011199101 + 11987021199102 minus 119861111991013 (11b)

where 1198701 = minus1198961119898 1198702 = minus1198881119898 The higher-order terms in(11a) and (11b) are disregarded when applied as an alternativefor (4a) and (4b)

The term ldquobifurcation setrdquo refers to a set in parameterspace on which the system bifurcates It is obtained fromunfolded equations in the normal form

There are three equilibrium points in this case

1 (0 0) for all119870111987022 (plusmnradic11987011198611) for1198701 gt 0

By checking the stability of these equilibrium points weobtain the following

(1) For 1198701 = 0 a subcritical pitchfork bifurcation occurs if1198702 gt 0 and a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation occurs if1198702 lt 0(2) For 1198701 gt 0 and 1198702 = 0 a rescaling technique and Mel-nikovrsquos perturbation method are used to obtain the completebifurcation set associated with homoclinic orbits in theunfolding bifurcation equations (11a) and (11b) [8]

Let 1199101 = 120598119906 1199102 = 1205982V 1198701 = 1205982V1 1198702 = 1205983V2 119905 rarr 120598119905Thus after rescaling (11a) and (11b) are rewritten as

= V (12a)

V = V1119906 + 1205982VV2 minus 11986111199063 (12b)

Melnikovrsquos method is then used to characterize the relation-ship between 1198701 and1198702

After a series of operations the following expression isobtained

1198702 = 0 (13a)

1198701 = 11986111205983 (13b)

Equations (13a) and (13b) yield the homoclinic saddle con-nection referred to as homoclinic bifurcation

(3) For 1198701 lt 0 and 1198702 = 0 the Jacobian matrix in (11a) and(11b) is written as

DF (0 0) = [ 0 11198701 0] (14)

According to the Hopf bifurcation theorem [8] coeffi-cient a must not equal zero In this case the coefficient aequals zero therefore there is no Hopf bifurcation

Numerical simulations using (4a) and (4b) were per-formed to check the validity of this bifurcation analysisThe parameter space was divided into several regions usingbifurcation sets as shown in Figure 2 The commercial

4 Analytical Tools for Observing NonlinearDynamics in a Vehicle Suspension System

In (3) the amplitude of the road excitation 119886 equals005m We performed a series of numerical simulationsusing (3) to determine the characteristics of this systemDynamic behaviors can be more clearly observed over arange of parameter values in bifurcation diagrams which arewidely used to describe transitions from periodic motion tochaoticmotion in dynamic systemsThe resulting bifurcationdiagram is presented in Figure 8 This figure clearly showschaotic motion in region A Region C presents period-1motion and there is a stable equilibrium point In this regioneach response was characterized using a phase portrait aPoincare map (velocity versus phase angle) and a frequencyspectrum Figure 9 shows that the equilibrium point of thesystem is stable if parameter Ω exists in region C It is well-known that road excitation covers a wide range frequenciesand higher vehicle velocities increase excitation from theroad surface The range of human sensitivity to frequency isfrom 4 to 8Hz (about 2512 rads to 5024 rads) thereforewe limited this investigation to the case of Ω = 400 radsFigure 10 shows the periodic motion in the system in caseswhere the parameter exists in regionC (ieΩ = 82 rads andΩ = 40 rads) The amplitude of road excitation is defined as005m while the response of the system (even in periodicmotion) has an amplitude of near 035m (Figure 9) Clearlythis response is not acceptable When parameter Ω existsin region B quasiperiodic motion occurs in this regionAs shown in Figures 11ndash13 the quasiperiodic trajectoryis restricted to an annular-like region of the state spaceand differs considerably from periodic trajectories When

5 Analysis of Chaotic Phenomena LyapunovExponent and Lyapunov Dimension

The analysis presented in Section 4 is insufficient to confi-dently identify chaotic motion in a suspension system In thissection we adopt Lyapunov exponents to verify the existenceof chaotic motion In every dynamic system the spectrumof Lyapunov exponents (120582) [20] indicates variations in thelengths areas and volumes of the phase space Verifying theexistence of chaos requires calculation of only the largestexponent to indicate whether nearby trajectories diverge

(120582 gt 0) or converge (120582 lt 0) on average Any boundedmotionwithin a system that has at least one positive Lyapunovexponent is defined as chaotic The Lyapunov exponents forperiodic motion are not positive

Figure 15 plots the evolution of the largest Lyapunovexponent in a suspension system This value is computedusing the algorithm presented by Wolf et al [20] Figure 14shows that chaotic motion began at approximately Ω =7965 rads because at point (1198751) the sign of the largestLyapunov exponent changed from negative to positive as theparameterΩ slowly decreased Between points1198751 and1198752 thelargest Lyapunov exponent approached zeroThe existence ofa forcing frequency Ω in these regions denotes the motionin the system as quasiperiodic When the value of Ω isgreater than 1198751 (such as when Ω = 82 rads) the Lyapunovexponents obtained using (3) are 1205821 = minus00010375 and 1205822 =minus00013232The sum of these values is 1205821+1205822 = minus00023607this negative value demonstrates that the motion of massat these values eventually converges to a stable limit cycleUsing the Lyapunov exponents for a dynamical system where1205821 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120582119899 Kaplan and Yorke [32] provided an estimationof the Lyapunov dimension 119889119871 as follows

Figure 16The bifurcation diagram for a system with state feedbackcontrol where 119866 denotes the feedback gain

to achieving an n-dimensional dynamic system is explainedbriefly as follows

= 119891 (119909 119905) (20)

where 119909(119905) isin 119877119899 is the state vector and 119891 =(1198911 119891119894 119891119899) where 119891119894 is a linear or a nonlinearfunction and 119891 includes at least one nonlinear function If119891119896(119909 119905) is a nonlinear function that gives chaotic motionin (20) then only one term of the state feedback for theavailable system variable 119909119898 is added to the equation thatincludes 119891119896 as follows

119896 = 119891119896 (119909 119905) + 119866119909119898 119896 119898 isin 1 2 119899 (21)

where119866 is the feedback gain Other functions remain in theiroriginal forms

System (3) with state feedback control can be written asfollows

1198891199101119889119905 = 11991021198891199102119889119905 = minus12059621199101 minus 119861111991013 minus 11986121199102 minus 119861311991023

In the absence of state feedback control G = 0 and (3)describes chaotic motion when Ω = 7964 rads Figure 16shows the resulting bifurcation diagram for a system withstate feedback control This figure clearly shows that chaoticmotion occurs at approximately 119866 gt minus014 and disappearsat approximately 119866 le minus014 When feedback gain 119866 fallsbelow minus014 stable periodic motion occurs As shown inFigure 17 a control signal is applied to the system at 35 s togovern the chaotic oscillation In this manner state feedbackcontrol can be used to suppress chaotic motion and improvethe performance of a vehiclersquos suspension system The form

of the control gain in the original system equation (1) is asfollows

119866 = 119866 sdot 119898 (23)

The physical meaning of gain 119866 is control gain and the unitof the gain is Nsdotskgsdotm

In many general systems that involve chaotic dynamicsthis state feedback technique does not require preliminaryor on-line analysis of the system dynamics and can beimplemented by adding the feedback of a suitable variable tothe original system with sufficient control gain to suppressthe development of chaos In this regard the state feedbackcontrol technique is simple and effective approach to chaossuppression

also provide a useful reference for engineers involved in thedesign of control systems for vehicle suspensions It shouldbe noted that in practical engineering phenomena such asactuator faults time-varying delays unmodeled dynamicsand dynamics disturbances often occur simultaneously andthese problems are beyond the scope of the current study Infuture work we will seek to control nonlinear systems withtime-varying delays

4 Analytical Tools for Observing NonlinearDynamics in a Vehicle Suspension System

In (3) the amplitude of the road excitation 119886 equals005m We performed a series of numerical simulationsusing (3) to determine the characteristics of this systemDynamic behaviors can be more clearly observed over arange of parameter values in bifurcation diagrams which arewidely used to describe transitions from periodic motion tochaoticmotion in dynamic systemsThe resulting bifurcationdiagram is presented in Figure 8 This figure clearly showschaotic motion in region A Region C presents period-1motion and there is a stable equilibrium point In this regioneach response was characterized using a phase portrait aPoincare map (velocity versus phase angle) and a frequencyspectrum Figure 9 shows that the equilibrium point of thesystem is stable if parameter Ω exists in region C It is well-known that road excitation covers a wide range frequenciesand higher vehicle velocities increase excitation from theroad surface The range of human sensitivity to frequency isfrom 4 to 8Hz (about 2512 rads to 5024 rads) thereforewe limited this investigation to the case of Ω = 400 radsFigure 10 shows the periodic motion in the system in caseswhere the parameter exists in regionC (ieΩ = 82 rads andΩ = 40 rads) The amplitude of road excitation is defined as005m while the response of the system (even in periodicmotion) has an amplitude of near 035m (Figure 9) Clearlythis response is not acceptable When parameter Ω existsin region B quasiperiodic motion occurs in this regionAs shown in Figures 11ndash13 the quasiperiodic trajectoryis restricted to an annular-like region of the state spaceand differs considerably from periodic trajectories When

5 Analysis of Chaotic Phenomena LyapunovExponent and Lyapunov Dimension

The analysis presented in Section 4 is insufficient to confi-dently identify chaotic motion in a suspension system In thissection we adopt Lyapunov exponents to verify the existenceof chaotic motion In every dynamic system the spectrumof Lyapunov exponents (120582) [20] indicates variations in thelengths areas and volumes of the phase space Verifying theexistence of chaos requires calculation of only the largestexponent to indicate whether nearby trajectories diverge

(120582 gt 0) or converge (120582 lt 0) on average Any boundedmotionwithin a system that has at least one positive Lyapunovexponent is defined as chaotic The Lyapunov exponents forperiodic motion are not positive

Figure 15 plots the evolution of the largest Lyapunovexponent in a suspension system This value is computedusing the algorithm presented by Wolf et al [20] Figure 14shows that chaotic motion began at approximately Ω =7965 rads because at point (1198751) the sign of the largestLyapunov exponent changed from negative to positive as theparameterΩ slowly decreased Between points1198751 and1198752 thelargest Lyapunov exponent approached zeroThe existence ofa forcing frequency Ω in these regions denotes the motionin the system as quasiperiodic When the value of Ω isgreater than 1198751 (such as when Ω = 82 rads) the Lyapunovexponents obtained using (3) are 1205821 = minus00010375 and 1205822 =minus00013232The sum of these values is 1205821+1205822 = minus00023607this negative value demonstrates that the motion of massat these values eventually converges to a stable limit cycleUsing the Lyapunov exponents for a dynamical system where1205821 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120582119899 Kaplan and Yorke [32] provided an estimationof the Lyapunov dimension 119889119871 as follows

where 119895 is the largest integer that satisfies sum119895119894=1 120582119894 gt 0This technique yields a Lyapunov dimension of 119889119871 = 1 for

where 119909(119905) isin 119877119899 is the state vector and 119891 =(1198911 119891119894 119891119899) where 119891119894 is a linear or a nonlinearfunction and 119891 includes at least one nonlinear function If119891119896(119909 119905) is a nonlinear function that gives chaotic motionin (20) then only one term of the state feedback for theavailable system variable 119909119898 is added to the equation thatincludes 119891119896 as follows

119896 = 119891119896 (119909 119905) + 119866119909119898 119896 119898 isin 1 2 119899 (21)

of the control gain in the original system equation (1) is asfollows

119866 = 119866 sdot 119898 (23)

The physical meaning of gain 119866 is control gain and the unitof the gain is Nsdotskgsdotm

In many general systems that involve chaotic dynamicsthis state feedback technique does not require preliminaryor on-line analysis of the system dynamics and can beimplemented by adding the feedback of a suitable variable tothe original system with sufficient control gain to suppressthe development of chaos In this regard the state feedbackcontrol technique is simple and effective approach to chaossuppression

also provide a useful reference for engineers involved in thedesign of control systems for vehicle suspensions It shouldbe noted that in practical engineering phenomena such asactuator faults time-varying delays unmodeled dynamicsand dynamics disturbances often occur simultaneously andthese problems are beyond the scope of the current study Infuture work we will seek to control nonlinear systems withtime-varying delays

4 Analytical Tools for Observing NonlinearDynamics in a Vehicle Suspension System

In (3) the amplitude of the road excitation 119886 equals005m We performed a series of numerical simulationsusing (3) to determine the characteristics of this systemDynamic behaviors can be more clearly observed over arange of parameter values in bifurcation diagrams which arewidely used to describe transitions from periodic motion tochaoticmotion in dynamic systemsThe resulting bifurcationdiagram is presented in Figure 8 This figure clearly showschaotic motion in region A Region C presents period-1motion and there is a stable equilibrium point In this regioneach response was characterized using a phase portrait aPoincare map (velocity versus phase angle) and a frequencyspectrum Figure 9 shows that the equilibrium point of thesystem is stable if parameter Ω exists in region C It is well-known that road excitation covers a wide range frequenciesand higher vehicle velocities increase excitation from theroad surface The range of human sensitivity to frequency isfrom 4 to 8Hz (about 2512 rads to 5024 rads) thereforewe limited this investigation to the case of Ω = 400 radsFigure 10 shows the periodic motion in the system in caseswhere the parameter exists in regionC (ieΩ = 82 rads andΩ = 40 rads) The amplitude of road excitation is defined as005m while the response of the system (even in periodicmotion) has an amplitude of near 035m (Figure 9) Clearlythis response is not acceptable When parameter Ω existsin region B quasiperiodic motion occurs in this regionAs shown in Figures 11ndash13 the quasiperiodic trajectoryis restricted to an annular-like region of the state spaceand differs considerably from periodic trajectories When

5 Analysis of Chaotic Phenomena LyapunovExponent and Lyapunov Dimension

The analysis presented in Section 4 is insufficient to confi-dently identify chaotic motion in a suspension system In thissection we adopt Lyapunov exponents to verify the existenceof chaotic motion In every dynamic system the spectrumof Lyapunov exponents (120582) [20] indicates variations in thelengths areas and volumes of the phase space Verifying theexistence of chaos requires calculation of only the largestexponent to indicate whether nearby trajectories diverge

(120582 gt 0) or converge (120582 lt 0) on average Any boundedmotionwithin a system that has at least one positive Lyapunovexponent is defined as chaotic The Lyapunov exponents forperiodic motion are not positive

Figure 15 plots the evolution of the largest Lyapunovexponent in a suspension system This value is computedusing the algorithm presented by Wolf et al [20] Figure 14shows that chaotic motion began at approximately Ω =7965 rads because at point (1198751) the sign of the largestLyapunov exponent changed from negative to positive as theparameterΩ slowly decreased Between points1198751 and1198752 thelargest Lyapunov exponent approached zeroThe existence ofa forcing frequency Ω in these regions denotes the motionin the system as quasiperiodic When the value of Ω isgreater than 1198751 (such as when Ω = 82 rads) the Lyapunovexponents obtained using (3) are 1205821 = minus00010375 and 1205822 =minus00013232The sum of these values is 1205821+1205822 = minus00023607this negative value demonstrates that the motion of massat these values eventually converges to a stable limit cycleUsing the Lyapunov exponents for a dynamical system where1205821 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120582119899 Kaplan and Yorke [32] provided an estimationof the Lyapunov dimension 119889119871 as follows

119889119871 = 119895 + 110038161003816100381610038161003816120582119895+110038161003816100381610038161003816119895sum119894=1

120582119894 (19)

where 119895 is the largest integer that satisfies sum119895119894=1 120582119894 gt 0This technique yields a Lyapunov dimension of 119889119871 = 1 for

5 Analysis of Chaotic Phenomena LyapunovExponent and Lyapunov Dimension

The analysis presented in Section 4 is insufficient to confi-dently identify chaotic motion in a suspension system In thissection we adopt Lyapunov exponents to verify the existenceof chaotic motion In every dynamic system the spectrumof Lyapunov exponents (120582) [20] indicates variations in thelengths areas and volumes of the phase space Verifying theexistence of chaos requires calculation of only the largestexponent to indicate whether nearby trajectories diverge

(120582 gt 0) or converge (120582 lt 0) on average Any boundedmotionwithin a system that has at least one positive Lyapunovexponent is defined as chaotic The Lyapunov exponents forperiodic motion are not positive

Figure 15 plots the evolution of the largest Lyapunovexponent in a suspension system This value is computedusing the algorithm presented by Wolf et al [20] Figure 14shows that chaotic motion began at approximately Ω =7965 rads because at point (1198751) the sign of the largestLyapunov exponent changed from negative to positive as theparameterΩ slowly decreased Between points1198751 and1198752 thelargest Lyapunov exponent approached zeroThe existence ofa forcing frequency Ω in these regions denotes the motionin the system as quasiperiodic When the value of Ω isgreater than 1198751 (such as when Ω = 82 rads) the Lyapunovexponents obtained using (3) are 1205821 = minus00010375 and 1205822 =minus00013232The sum of these values is 1205821+1205822 = minus00023607this negative value demonstrates that the motion of massat these values eventually converges to a stable limit cycleUsing the Lyapunov exponents for a dynamical system where1205821 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120582119899 Kaplan and Yorke [32] provided an estimationof the Lyapunov dimension 119889119871 as follows

119889119871 = 119895 + 110038161003816100381610038161003816120582119895+110038161003816100381610038161003816119895sum119894=1

120582119894 (19)

where 119895 is the largest integer that satisfies sum119895119894=1 120582119894 gt 0This technique yields a Lyapunov dimension of 119889119871 = 1 for

Improving the performance of a dynamic system andoravoiding chaotic behavior require periodic motion whichis more important when working under specific conditionsCai et al [26] suggested a simple effective control methodthat converts chaotic motions into periodic motion usingthe linear state feedback as a system variable This approach

Ω = 80 805 or 815 the system exhibits a quasiperiodicmotion and the map forms a continuous closed orbit in thePoincare section as shown in Figures 11ndash13 As the forcingfrequency (Ω) continues decreasing into regionA (Figure 14)chaotic motion produces chatter vibration The transitionsequence for the system in this paper is from periodic motionto quasiperiodic motion and finally to chaotic motion Theparticular features of these two descriptors characterize thechaotic behavior The Poincare map contains an infinite setof points which are referred to as a strange attractor Thefrequency spectrum of the chaotic motion is a continu-ous broad spectrum The strange attractor and continuousFourier spectrum are strong indicators of chaos Figure 14shows clear indications of chaotic behavior in region AFigures 14(a)ndash14(c) respectively show the phase portraits thePoincare maps and frequency spectra

5 Analysis of Chaotic Phenomena LyapunovExponent and Lyapunov Dimension

The analysis presented in Section 4 is insufficient to confi-dently identify chaotic motion in a suspension system In thissection we adopt Lyapunov exponents to verify the existenceof chaotic motion In every dynamic system the spectrumof Lyapunov exponents (120582) [20] indicates variations in thelengths areas and volumes of the phase space Verifying theexistence of chaos requires calculation of only the largestexponent to indicate whether nearby trajectories diverge

(120582 gt 0) or converge (120582 lt 0) on average Any boundedmotionwithin a system that has at least one positive Lyapunovexponent is defined as chaotic The Lyapunov exponents forperiodic motion are not positive

Figure 15 plots the evolution of the largest Lyapunovexponent in a suspension system This value is computedusing the algorithm presented by Wolf et al [20] Figure 14shows that chaotic motion began at approximately Ω =7965 rads because at point (1198751) the sign of the largestLyapunov exponent changed from negative to positive as theparameterΩ slowly decreased Between points1198751 and1198752 thelargest Lyapunov exponent approached zeroThe existence ofa forcing frequency Ω in these regions denotes the motionin the system as quasiperiodic When the value of Ω isgreater than 1198751 (such as when Ω = 82 rads) the Lyapunovexponents obtained using (3) are 1205821 = minus00010375 and 1205822 =minus00013232The sum of these values is 1205821+1205822 = minus00023607this negative value demonstrates that the motion of massat these values eventually converges to a stable limit cycleUsing the Lyapunov exponents for a dynamical system where1205821 ge sdot sdot sdot ge 120582119899 Kaplan and Yorke [32] provided an estimationof the Lyapunov dimension 119889119871 as follows

where 119895 is the largest integer that satisfies sum119895119894=1 120582119894 gt 0This technique yields a Lyapunov dimension of 119889119871 = 1 for

6 Controlling Chaos

Improving the performance of a dynamic system andoravoiding chaotic behavior require periodic motion whichis more important when working under specific conditionsCai et al [26] suggested a simple effective control methodthat converts chaotic motions into periodic motion usingthe linear state feedback as a system variable This approach

to achieving an n-dimensional dynamic system is explainedbriefly as follows

where 119909(119905) isin 119877119899 is the state vector and 119891 =(1198911 119891119894 119891119899) where 119891119894 is a linear or a nonlinearfunction and 119891 includes at least one nonlinear function If119891119896(119909 119905) is a nonlinear function that gives chaotic motionin (20) then only one term of the state feedback for theavailable system variable 119909119898 is added to the equation thatincludes 119891119896 as follows

119896 = 119891119896 (119909 119905) + 119866119909119898 119896 119898 isin 1 2 119899 (21)

where119866 is the feedback gain Other functions remain in theiroriginal forms

of the control gain in the original system equation (1) is asfollows

119866 = 119866 sdot 119898 (23)

The physical meaning of gain 119866 is control gain and the unitof the gain is Nsdotskgsdotm

In many general systems that involve chaotic dynamicsthis state feedback technique does not require preliminaryor on-line analysis of the system dynamics and can beimplemented by adding the feedback of a suitable variable tothe original system with sufficient control gain to suppressthe development of chaos In this regard the state feedbackcontrol technique is simple and effective approach to chaossuppression

7 Conclusions

This study examined the nonlinear dynamic behavior ina vehicle suspension system with hysteretic damping Ourobjective was to develop a method to control chaotic vibra-tion Dynamic behavior was observed over the entire rangeof parameter values of the bifurcation sets and bifurca-tion diagram Using bifurcation analysis we identified acodimension-two bifurcation structure with double-zerodegeneracy in the system The bifurcation diagram indicatesthe existence of quasiperiodic orbit and chaotic motionthereby demonstrating the effectiveness of using Lyapunovexponents as a tool for identifying chaoticmotion Finally weproposed a state feedback control method to suppress chaoticmotions and improve the ride provided by an automotivesuspension system Simulation results confirm the feasibilityof the proposed method Our results provide insight intothe operating conditions under which undesirable dynamicmotion takes place in vehicle suspension systems Our results

also provide a useful reference for engineers involved in thedesign of control systems for vehicle suspensions It shouldbe noted that in practical engineering phenomena such asactuator faults time-varying delays unmodeled dynamicsand dynamics disturbances often occur simultaneously andthese problems are beyond the scope of the current study Infuture work we will seek to control nonlinear systems withtime-varying delays

Figure 15 Evolution of the largest Lyapunov exponent

Ω = 82 rads The fact that the Lyapunov dimension is aninteger means that the system has periodic motion Whenparameter Ω increases beyond the bifurcation point (such aswhen Ω = 7964 rads) the Lyapunov exponents are 1205821 =00054396 and 1205822 = minus0092153 and the Lyapunov dimensionis 119889119871 = 1059 In this case the Lyapunov dimension is notan integer indicating that the system exhibits chaotic mo-tion

6 Controlling Chaos

Improving the performance of a dynamic system andoravoiding chaotic behavior require periodic motion whichis more important when working under specific conditionsCai et al [26] suggested a simple effective control methodthat converts chaotic motions into periodic motion usingthe linear state feedback as a system variable This approach

Figure 16The bifurcation diagram for a system with state feedbackcontrol where 119866 denotes the feedback gain

to achieving an n-dimensional dynamic system is explainedbriefly as follows

where 119909(119905) isin 119877119899 is the state vector and 119891 =(1198911 119891119894 119891119899) where 119891119894 is a linear or a nonlinearfunction and 119891 includes at least one nonlinear function If119891119896(119909 119905) is a nonlinear function that gives chaotic motionin (20) then only one term of the state feedback for theavailable system variable 119909119898 is added to the equation thatincludes 119891119896 as follows

119896 = 119891119896 (119909 119905) + 119866119909119898 119896 119898 isin 1 2 119899 (21)

where119866 is the feedback gain Other functions remain in theiroriginal forms

System (3) with state feedback control can be written asfollows

of the control gain in the original system equation (1) is asfollows

Figure 16The bifurcation diagram for a system with state feedbackcontrol where 119866 denotes the feedback gain

to achieving an n-dimensional dynamic system is explainedbriefly as follows

= 119891 (119909 119905) (20)

where 119909(119905) isin 119877119899 is the state vector and 119891 =(1198911 119891119894 119891119899) where 119891119894 is a linear or a nonlinearfunction and 119891 includes at least one nonlinear function If119891119896(119909 119905) is a nonlinear function that gives chaotic motionin (20) then only one term of the state feedback for theavailable system variable 119909119898 is added to the equation thatincludes 119891119896 as follows

119896 = 119891119896 (119909 119905) + 119866119909119898 119896 119898 isin 1 2 119899 (21)

where119866 is the feedback gain Other functions remain in theiroriginal forms

System (3) with state feedback control can be written asfollows

1198891199101119889119905 = 11991021198891199102119889119905 = minus12059621199101 minus 119861111991013 minus 11986121199102 minus 119861311991023

+ 119886Ω2 sin (Ω119905) + 1198661199102(22)

In the absence of state feedback control G = 0 and (3)describes chaotic motion when Ω = 7964 rads Figure 16shows the resulting bifurcation diagram for a system withstate feedback control This figure clearly shows that chaoticmotion occurs at approximately 119866 gt minus014 and disappearsat approximately 119866 le minus014 When feedback gain 119866 fallsbelow minus014 stable periodic motion occurs As shown inFigure 17 a control signal is applied to the system at 35 s togovern the chaotic oscillation In this manner state feedbackcontrol can be used to suppress chaotic motion and improvethe performance of a vehiclersquos suspension system The form

Figure 17 Transforming chaotic motion to a desired period-oneorbit for 119866 = minus03 and Ω = 7964 rads (a) the phase portraitfor the controlled system when the state feedback control signal isintroduced after 35 s and (b) the time responses of the velocity

of the control gain in the original system equation (1) is asfollows

119866 = 119866 sdot 119898 (23)

The physical meaning of gain 119866 is control gain and the unitof the gain is Nsdotskgsdotm

In many general systems that involve chaotic dynamicsthis state feedback technique does not require preliminaryor on-line analysis of the system dynamics and can beimplemented by adding the feedback of a suitable variable tothe original system with sufficient control gain to suppressthe development of chaos In this regard the state feedbackcontrol technique is simple and effective approach to chaossuppression

7 Conclusions

This study examined the nonlinear dynamic behavior ina vehicle suspension system with hysteretic damping Ourobjective was to develop a method to control chaotic vibra-tion Dynamic behavior was observed over the entire rangeof parameter values of the bifurcation sets and bifurca-tion diagram Using bifurcation analysis we identified acodimension-two bifurcation structure with double-zerodegeneracy in the system The bifurcation diagram indicatesthe existence of quasiperiodic orbit and chaotic motionthereby demonstrating the effectiveness of using Lyapunovexponents as a tool for identifying chaoticmotion Finally weproposed a state feedback control method to suppress chaoticmotions and improve the ride provided by an automotivesuspension system Simulation results confirm the feasibilityof the proposed method Our results provide insight intothe operating conditions under which undesirable dynamicmotion takes place in vehicle suspension systems Our results

also provide a useful reference for engineers involved in thedesign of control systems for vehicle suspensions It shouldbe noted that in practical engineering phenomena such asactuator faults time-varying delays unmodeled dynamicsand dynamics disturbances often occur simultaneously andthese problems are beyond the scope of the current study Infuture work we will seek to control nonlinear systems withtime-varying delays
