Abstract: Suspension systems in modern vehicles are considered one of the essential parts in developing the vehicle industry; in the same way, they are the central part responsible for ride comfort and avoiding road obstacles. In this paper, some previous studies of passive, active and semi-active suspension systems have been reviewed. The focus was on reviewing the semi-active suspension system using MR damper technology to highlight the pros and cons of using MR. This could help to lead many researchers to deeply study this technology (MR damper) to reach the requirement. Keywords: Quarter-car model, semi-active suspension, Passive suspension, Active suspension, MR damper model.
I. INTRODUCTION A vehicle's suspension system is a crucial component that shields the frame from road disturbances. This suspension arrangement for a standard car is shown in figure 3.1. The tyres of a vehicle must stay in constant contact with the pavement. The damper is the most vital component of a suspension system. Absorbing the shock lessens the effects of an unexpected hiccup on the road. Most shock absorbers convert vibrational energy to heat, which is then released into the surrounding area. The viscous damper uses a viscous fluid to turn energy into heat. The hydraulic fluid is heated in hydraulic cylinders. The hot air is released into the atmosphere from air cylinders. As for electromagnetic dampers, the working principle is different, which is" Here, a synchronous machine, induction machine, or DC motor is used to transform vibration energy into electricity, which is then stored in a condenser or battery for later use[1].
