Abstract
A seven degree-of-freedom vehicle model, incorporating a fully interconnected active suspension is developed. The model is used to analyze the effect of coupling and of absolute damping on sprung mass isolation, as well as tire normal load distribution. A parametric study shows that when absolute damping is used, decoupling the heave and pitch body modes both improves body isolation, and reduces fore-aft tire load transfer. However, absolute body roll damping, while improving body isolation, increases the effect of road disturbances on lateral load transfer distribution.Keywords
