Testing Framework for Linear Electromagnetic Semi-Active and Active Suspension Systems

This work presents a testing framework for evaluating the performance of linear electromagnetic semi-active and active suspension systems working under standard road profiles or periodic references. The framework consists of the definition of an experimental setup, test scenarios, the validation of the dynamic response of the platform, and performance assessment based on the position and acceleration of the sprung mass. This paper provides a reliable and reproducible methodology for evaluating the performance of linear electromagnetic semi-active and active suspension systems under different operation conditions. The attained results may be used to optimize the performance of linear electromagnetic actuators applied to suspension systems and develop new control strategies.
