Hysteresis Modelling for a MR Damper

An experimental dataset of a commercial Magneto-Rheological (MR) damper is exploited for identification of a Hysteresis-based Control-Oriented model. The model wellness for hysteresis, saturation and transient responses is shown through validation with experimental data. A study case that includes a Quarter of Vehicle (QoV) shows that the hysteresis phenomena could affect the primary ride and vehicle handling. Several analysis based on open and closed loop simulation demonstrated that hysteresis must be considered for controller design.
