Abstract

The objective of this paper is to model hysteresis behaviour of new MR damper configuration by using nonparametric model approaches. The approaches are nonparametric linearised data-driven (NPLDD) single input model, non-parametric linearised data-driven (NPLDD) double input model, and simple polynomial model. The modelling is developed to ensure the force of MR damper is tracked to any input force. The NPLDD model is developed based on look-up table while the polynomial model is developed based on curve fitting from the experimental results and consists of a pair of subsystems namely positive and negative acceleration which corresponds to the upper and lower curves. From the simulation results, the NPLDD double input model shows better performance in describing non-linear hysteresis behaviour of the MR damper compared with others. By using the NPLDD model, a force tracking based on PI controller has been developed. It is verified that the NPLDD model together with the PI control strategy has the capability to track the desired damping force well.
