Bifurcation of piecewise-linear nonlinear vibration system of vehicle suspension (Q735283)

With the development of computer technology, sensors, microprocessors and new materials, the control technology and the construction of vehicle suspension have been improved essentially. In this paper the authors consider a piecewise-linear nonlinear vehicle suspension system, which consists of a dominant spring and assistant springs. Assuming the system to be symmetrical, the authors introduce a double-mass simplified model of this suspension, and investigate the bifurcation of the resonance solution by averaging method.
