Description
Take your understanding of vehicle suspension control to the next level with "Vehicle Suspension Control 3: PID + LQR + Resonance Analysis." This course builds upon the fundamental concepts from the first two courses in the series, providing you with advanced techniques for minimizing car vibrations and optimizing suspension systems.

Learn how to applyPID(Proportional-Integral-Derivative) andLQR(Linear-Quadratic Regulator) controllers to effectively manage vibrations in vehicle models. Discover how to detectresonance frequenciesand useArtificial Intelligenceto expertly tune six PID constants inMIMO(Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output) systems, a skill highly sought after in the automotive industry.

Simplify complex quarter- and half-car models usingdominant pole approximation, a powerful method for easier controller tuning. This course starts with applying PID control to a simple 1DOF (degree of freedom) model, analyzing its vibrational behavior, before adding tire dynamics and implementing both PID and LQR control strategies.

You will gain hands-on experience in reducing model complexity, which is invaluable for practical controller tuning. Extend your knowledge to half-car models, identifying resonance peaks for different degrees of freedom, and understand how these insights can be used to improve vehicle performance and ride comfort.

By the end of this course, you will master advanced vibration control techniques applicable to real-world suspension systems, making you a valuable asset in vehicle dynamics and control. Enroll now to enhance your skills in this specialized area and advance your career.
