Modal Characteristics of Oil-Gas Interconnected Suspension Systems and their Influence on Vehicle Ride Quality

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">This study focuses on the dynamic behavior and ride quality of three different modes of oil-gas interconnected suspension systems: fully interconnected mode, left-right interconnected mode, and independent mode. A multi-body dynamics model and a hydraulic model of the oil-gas suspension were established to evaluate the system's performance under various operating conditions. The research includes simulations of pitch and roll excitations, as well as ride comfort tests on different road surfaces, such as Class B roads and gravel roads. The analysis compares the effectiveness of the modes in suppressing pitch and roll movements and their impact on overall ride comfort. Results show that the independent mode outperforms the other two in minimizing roll, while the fully interconnected mode offers better pitch control but at the cost of reduced comfort. These findings provide valuable insights for the future design and optimization of oil-gas interconnected suspension systems, especially in balancing vehicle stability and ride comfort.</div></div>
