This book introduces an approach of controlling vehicle height and posture by actively raising and lowering vibration isolators via asymmetric damping adjustment.

The first part of this book identifies the theoretical foundation of asymmetric damping adjustment and discusses practical applications and the significance of this advancement. The second section discusses the mechanics and laws governing the active raising and lowering of the vibration isolator. The final two sections present the application of this method by incorporating a number of control strategies, including model predictive control, hybrid model predictive control, and active disturbance rejection control. The methodology is validated through simulation and co-simulation under various vehicle conditions.

This book will be of interest to automotive engineers and those interested in the field of mechanics, vibration, and control.
