TLDR
In this paper, a monograph dealing with contemporary approaches to the problem of optimum shock and vibration isolation design is presented, where the authors focus on the selection of isolators that cause an index of the system performance to be optimized; that is, to take on a value either less or greater than that associated with other candidate isolators.Abstract:
: This monograph deals with contemporary approaches to the problem of optimum shock and vibration isolation design. Isolation devices act to reduce the unwanted effects of shock and vibration disturbances on critical elements of a mechanical system. The problem of optimum design has to do with the selection of isolators that cause an index of the system performance to be optimized; that is, to take on a value either less or greater than that associated with other candidate isolators. In addition, the optimum design usually must satisfy constraints which are imposed on other aspects of the system response and the parameters which describe the isolators.read more

Survey of advanced suspension developments and related optimal control applications
TL;DR: While the main emphasis is on Linear-Quadratic optimal control and active suspensions, the paper also addresses a number of related subjects including semi-active suspensions; robust, adaptive and nonlinear control aspects and some of the important practical considerations.

Dynamic modelling of an ER vibration damper for vehicle suspension applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development of a mathematical model of a controllable vibration damper intended for eventual application to ground-vehicle suspension systems, which employs electro-rheological (ER) fluid as the working medium which enables a continuously variable damping force to be provided in response to an electrical control signal.

Semi-Active Control of Wheel Hop in Ground Vehicles
TL;DR: In this article, a two degree-of-freedom vehicle model is developed which incorporates passive, active, and semi-active secondary suspensions, and the model is used to demonstrate the trade-offs which are inherent in attempting to provide desirable sprung weight isolation while at the same time controlling unsprung weight motions.
