TL;DR: Semi-Active Suspension Control Design for Vehicles as discussed by the authors presents a comprehensive discussion of designing control algorithms for semi-active suspensions, including performance analysis and control design, and includes methods needed for analyzing and evaluating suspension performances, while identifying optimal performance bounds.

TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-active control strategy that a priori satisfies the principal limitations of a semiactive suspension actuator (dissipative constraint and force bounds) is introduced using the tools of the linear parameter varying (LPV) theory.

TL;DR: Time and frequency simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme when the vehicle is subject to various critical driving situations.

TL;DR: In this article, the benefits of controlled semi-active suspensions compared to passive ones are evaluated using simulation on an exact nonlinear model of a single-wheel suspension car model and two control methodologies, H 8 and Skyhook control approaches, are developed, using a linear model of the suspension, and compared in terms of performances using industrial specifications.

TL;DR: The main objective of the book is to demonstrate the value of this approach for controlling the dynamic behavior of vehicles and to interest various researchers and graduate students in control of vehicle dynamics as wall as in robust control and LPV systems.
