Introduction
The dynamics of vehicular suspension systems play a pivotal role in ensuring passenger comfort, vehicle stability, and overall ride quality. The road excitations may cause shock vibrations, influencing the safety of driving, the comfort of the driver, and the reliability of the suspension system1,2,3,4,5. In recent years, the complex and nonlinear dynamic reactions of automotive suspension systems encountering uneven road conditions have garnered escalating attention as a significant area of interest6,7,8,9. This paper presents an experimental approach to exploring the nonlinearity inherent in quarter car models.
Traditional models often overlook complex interactions and memory effects present in real-world suspension systems. To fill this void, fractional calculus is a promising technique for modeling intricate systems featuring memory effects10,11. In modelling actual scenarios of nonlinear suspension system with complicated physical dynamics, fractional calculus is an effective instrument12,13,14,15,16,17,18.
Considering the inherent fractional characteristics of real systems, it is unsurprising that utilizing fractional order methodologies to depict system dynamics frequently leads to more precise outcomes when contrasted with conventional integer techniques19,20,21,22,23,24. The investigation of fractional calculus in chaotic systems has become increasingly intriguing and presents a promising method for analyzing a variety of real-world systems25,26,27.
The concepts of chaos, stability, and bifurcation are central to the study of nonlinear dynamical systems, offering key insights into the behavior of complex systems and their responses to varying inputs and parameters. Through bifurcation analysis, researchers identified critical points where transitions between different dynamical regimes occur28,29. Investigating the interplay between chaos, stability and bifurcation is crucial for comprehending the dynamics of nonlinear systems, as chaotic behavior often coexists with stable regions within the system’s parameter space.
A detailed analysis of the fractional-order damping and hysteresis in a nonlinear quarter-car suspension system is conducted. Stability at equilibrium points is assessed, Lyapunov exponents are calculated, phase portraits are analyzed, bifurcations are explored, and Lyapunov spectra are scrutinized. This study presents and investigates the dynamic characteristics of the proposed fractional-order nonlinear quarter car model, utilizing Caputo derivatives30, and employing the Adam–Bashforth–Moulton (ABM) numericalmethod31, recognized for its exceptional convergence and accuracy, as elucidated in Ref.32.
The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive investigation of the nonlinearity in quarter car models through an experimental approach and subsequent numerical dynamic analysis, considering stochastic road profiles as input excitation. While previous research has primarily focused on deterministic road conditions, this study uniquely addresses the influence of stochasticity on the dynamic behavior of vehicle suspension systems. By incorporating fractional order modeling and dynamic analysis techniques, the study offers a novel perspective on how nonlinearity interacts with stochastic road disturbances, providing valuable insights into the performance of suspension systems under real-world driving conditions. This approach not only advances the understanding of vehicle dynamics but also informs the development of more robust and adaptive suspension designs capable of effectively handling the uncertainties inherent in road environments.
The structure of this paper is outlined as follows. “Experimental setup and response analysis” section presents the experimental setup and response Analysis. This is followed by mathematical modeling of nonlinear quarter car suspension (“Mathematical modeling of nonlinear quarter car suspension” section) and dynamical analysis (“Dynamic analysis” section). Formulation of quarter car model with fractional model is shown in “Formulation of quarter car model with fractional order” section. “Conclusion” section concludes the paper.
Experimental setup and response analysis
The objectives of experimental analysis for the quarter car model are multifaceted. Firstly, it provides an avenue for assessing the impact of various parameters and components on suspension performance, enabling the optimization of ride comfort, stability, and handling characteristics. Secondly, experimental analysis allows for the investigation of factors that are challenging to model theoretically, such as friction, wear, and damping characteristics, which may vary under different operating conditions.
This research endeavor embarks on an experimental analysis of the quarter car model, with the primary goal of gaining a deeper understanding of the dynamic behavior of vehicle suspensions. By conducting physical experiments on quarter car setups equipped with sensors to measure displacement, velocity, and acceleration responses, we aim to replicate real-world driving scenarios and collect empirical data. These experiments will encompass a stochastic excitation condition to assess how the suspension system responds to diverse challenges, from smooth highways to rough terrain.
The following experimental setup is used to conduct the testing, it consists of (i) Vibration Exciter, (ii) Quarter car model, (iii) Springs with different spring constants, (iv) Magneto rheological (MR) damper, (v) Vibration sensors, (vi) Data Acquisition system, (vii) Software for visualization as shown in Fig. 1 below.
Response of the system for stiffness nonlinearity
In order to understand the influence of parameters affecting the performance of the system, we used two types of springs; the following experimental results are obtained. Figure 2 indicated that the response of the system as displacement, velocity and acceleration.
The results confirm that the response of the system entirely different for different stiffness scenario, using a single spring constant such as in linear model may not valid for real-time implementation. The nonlinear model of the spring should be considered for simulation; hence we used higher order nonlinearity for stiffness for numerical simulations.
The accelerometer records vibration signals, which are then gathered and visually depicted in the Figs. 3 and 4 indicated below. The time domain and frequency domain plots provide a comprehensive representation of the system’s response under two different stiffness scenarios, namely Scenario 1 and Scenario 2.
Damper nonlinearity
The magnetorheological Damper (MR) characteristic study setup and load–displacement curves is shown in Fig. 5 below. The presence of nonlinearity in damper is confirmed from the following experiment. The load–displacement curve is plotted for different current scenario of MR damper is presented.
To investigate the integration of MR dampers into the quarter car model and its influence on the dynamic response of the suspension system, we incorporated the MR damper in the Quarter car setup with a focus on measuring essential parameters such as displacement, velocity, and acceleration as shown in Fig. 6 below.
The time domain response provides insights into the system’s transient behavior and damping effects over time, while the frequency domain response analyzes the system’s behavior in terms of frequency components and resonances. Together, these responses help engineers design and fine-tune suspension systems equipped with MR dampers to optimize ride comfort, handling, and overall vehicle performance under diverse driving conditions. The time domain response and frequency domain response are presented in Figs. 7, 8 and 9.
Mathematical modeling of nonlinear quarter car suspension
Figure 10 presents a single degree of freedom (SDOF) quarter-car model with hysteretic nonlinear damping. The integer-order differential equation of motion is established first. Then, based on Caputo’s fractional derivative, the fractional order quarter car model is presented.
The following is established for the integer order of the suspension system dynamical equation33:
where \(m\) is mass of the body,\(\ddot{x}\) is the vertical acceleration of the mass, \(k_{1} = 16,000\;{\text{N}}\;{\text{m}}^{ - 1}\) is the suspension stiffness coefficient,\(x_{o}\) the road excitation, x the body’s vertical displacement and \(F_{c}\) is hysteretic nonlinear damping and stiffness force, which is dependent on the relative displacement and velocity given by:
where \(m = 240\;{\text{kg}}\) and \(k_{2} = - 30,000\;{\text{N}}\;{\text{m}}^{ - 3}\), \(c_{1} = 250\;{\text{N}}\;{\text{s}}\;{\text{m}}^{ - 3}\) and \(c_{2} = - 25\;{\text{N}}\;{\text{s}}^{ - 3} \;{\text{m}}^{ - 3}\) are hysteretic nonlinear damping force with constants33.
Considering Eqs. (1), (2) can be rewritten as
Taking into account the relative vertical displacement \(y = x - x_{o}\), and the road profile \(x_{o} = F\left( t \right)\), where \(F\left( t \right)\) is a three-dimensional chaotic system34 as stochastic excitation.
We are able to reduce Eq. (3) to a simpler form, which is:
where \(\sigma = \frac{{k_{1} }}{m},\,\beta = \frac{{k_{2} }}{m},\gamma = \,\frac{{c_{1} }}{m}\,and\,\delta = \frac{{c_{2} }}{m}\). The states are chosen such that \(y_{1} = y,\,\)\(y_{2} = \dot{y}.\) Thus, the system’s state space representation can be expressed as follows:
Dynamic analysis
Equilibrium points
The dynamic analysis starts with finding the equilibrium points stability. Since it is a nonlinear equation, it may have more than one equilibrium point. Let us found it by setting LHS of the equations equal to zero.
The system exhibits a finite number of equilibrium points, which can be determined as follows: \(E_{1} = \left[ { - 0.7303,\,0} \right]\), \(E_{2} = \left[ {0.7303,\,0} \right]\) and \(E_{3} = \left[ {0,\,0} \right]\).
Stability analysis
The Jacobian matrix for the given quarter car model at its equilibrium positions can be computed as follows:
The characteristics equation is determined through the expression \(\det \left[ {\lambda I - J} \right] = 0.\) Solving this characteristic equation for each equilibrium point enables us to obtain the eigenvalues of the system, for the integer-order model of the first degree of freedom suspension system (5), when the commensurate order of the system \(\alpha = 1\), the characteristic equation of the system is derivedas \(\lambda^{2} + a_{1} \lambda \pm a_{3} ,\) and at equilibrium E1 and E2, the characteristic equation is \(\lambda^{2} + 1.0417\lambda - 133.335\), and the corresponding eigenvalues are given in Table 1, and \(\lambda_{1}\) is the saddle node. Similarly, at equilibrium E3, the characteristic equation is \(\lambda^{2} + 1.0417\lambda + 66.667\), and the corresponding eigenvalues are given in Table 1, where \(\lambda_{1,2}\) is the stable spiral. As per the Routh-Hurwitz criterion, all the principal minors need to be positive, but at equilibrium, E1 and E2 fail this condition. At this equilibrium point, the system (5) is unstable and shows chaotic oscillations. In a similar way, all the principal minors at equilibrium E3 are positive; at this equilibrium point, the system (5) is stable.
As shown in the Table 1, the Eigen values \(\lambda_{1}\) of the equilibrium points \(E_{1}\) and \(E_{2}\) are saddle unstable points and the Eigen values \(\lambda_{1,2}\) of the equilibrium points \(E_{3}\) are stable which satisfy the stability condition for chaotic behavior.
Response of the system for stochastic excitation
Considering \(F\left( t \right)\) a three-dimensional chaotic system34 as stochastic excitation:
Considering the state value of \(w\) is fetched as stochastic excitation in the system (5), then it can be written as:
where \(e\) the tuning parameter and w is the stochastic noise.
The phase portraits and time series of system (9) is shown in Fig. 11a,b. For parameter values \(\sigma = 66.6667\), \(\beta = - 125\), \(\gamma = 1.0417\), \(\delta = - 0.1042\), \(c = 4\), \(d = 1\), \(a = 2\), \(b = 7\), \(k = 4\), \(e = 0.06\), and the initial conditions \(\left[ {0,\,0.1,\,0.1,\,0.1,\,0.1} \right]\) the system exhibits chaotic behaviour.
Formulation of quarter car model with fractional order
Fractional calculus has a long history, stretching back over three hundred years. It is a non-integer order fundamental operator generalization of integration and differentiation, denoted by \({}_{a}D_{t}^{\alpha }\), where \(a\) and \(t\) are the operator’s limits35.
There exist three commonly used definitions for the fractional order differential operator, viz. Grunwald–Letnikov, Riemann–Liouville and Caputo36. Caputo type fractional calculus is used in this paper which is defined as
where \(\alpha\) is the order.
By incorporating these fractional order approximations into the integer order model (Eq. 9), we obtain the fractional order nonlinear quarter car model as described in Eq. (12).
where α is the fractional order σ β, γ, δ, a, b, c, d, k, are parameters and e the tuning parameter and \(w\) is the stochastic noise. The stability analysis of fractional-order systems based on eigenvalues is an important approach, similar to the way eigenvalues are used in analyzing stability for integer-order systems. The fraction order for every eigenvalue is obtained using Eq. (13). The greatest value among the obtained fractional order is selected as the fraction order of the system. In a dynamic system with the size of n, the eigenvalues, \(\left( {\lambda_{1,} \lambda_{2} ,....\lambda_{n} } \right)\), are obtained using Jacobian matrices created for each dimension. Then, every single eigenvalue is used to determine the fraction order, \(\alpha\), using (13), where \(\alpha\) is expressed as the determined fraction order.
As the Table 1 illustrates, the eigenvalues for the Jacobian matrix at equilibrium point \(E_{3}\) of a given system (12) are \(\lambda_{1} = - 0.5209 + 8.1483i\), \(\lambda_{2} = - 0.5209 - 8.1483i\). In such a case, a fractional order needs to be calculated for the corresponding eigenvalue: \(\arg \left( {\lambda_{1} } \right) = - 1.5069\) and \(\arg \left( {\lambda_{2} } \right) = 1.5069.\) Then, fractional order using the expression \(\max \left( {\alpha_{1} ,\alpha_{2} ,....\alpha_{n} } \right)\) provides \(\alpha = \alpha_{1} = \alpha_{2} = 0.98\). In the case \(\alpha_{1} ,\) and \(\alpha_{2}\) are greater than 0.95.
Numerical algorithm for fractional-order nonlinear quarter car model
Various methodologies are used for the numerical analysis of the fractional order systems36. We are considering the Adam–Bashforth–Moulton (ABM) approach.
Consider α as the order a fractional order dynamical system
and \(y^{k} \left( 0 \right) = y_{o}^{k}\) for \(k \in \left[ {0,n - 1} \right]\,\), T can be the finite time.
Equation (12) approaches the expression for the Volterra integral given in Ref.37;
where \(h = \frac{T}{N},\,t_{n} = nh:\,\,h \in \left[ {0,N} \right]\) and \(\tau_{1} = \frac{\tau }{h}\).
We can define the discrete form of Eq. (14) as,
where
Using the definitions of (15) and (16), the fractional order nonlinear quarter car model can be defined as,
Lyapunov exponents
Using the Wolf’s algorithm34 and modified Wolf’s algorithms38, we calculate the finite time Lyapunov exponents (LEs) of the system (12). The calculations carried out with the initial conditions as \(\left[ {0,0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1} \right]\) and finite time duration for LEs computation is set at 20,000 s. The LEs of the system for fractional order α = 0.998 is calculated as \(L_{1} = - 0.5411,\)\(L_{2} = - 0.5413,\)\(L_{3} = 0.7675,\)\(L_{4} = - 0.0594\,and\) \(L_{5} = - 7.1908.\) Since the system has one positive Lyapunov exponent, it is categorized as chaotic system and \(L_{1} + L_{2} + L_{3} + L_{4} + L_{5} = - 8.3326 < 0\), this shows that the system is dissipative.
Phase portrait
In this section we analyze the dynamical behavior of the suspension system and presented the numerical simulations of fractional order system (12) in the presence of stochastic excitation. For the initial conditions [0, 0.1, 0. 1, 0.1, 0.1] and fractional order \(\alpha = 0.88,\,0.90,\,0.96,\,0.97,\,0.99,\,1\) the 2D state portraits of the system are given in Figs. 12 and 13. We can observe that for α = 0.88, a clear periodic oscillation and while increasing the \(\alpha\) value model exhibits chaotic oscillations. These findings confirm that fractional-order models provide a more accurate representation of nonlinear systems with complex dynamics compared to their integer-order counterparts.
Bifurcation plot and Lyapunov spectrum
To gain insight into the dynamic behavior of the nonlinear quarter car model, we investigate bifurcation diagrams in the two cases of commensurate-order and incommensurate-order, respectively. Bifurcation diagrams are a commonly used technique for visually depicting how dynamic patterns change across a spectrum of parameter values. They are particularly useful for illustrating the transitions from periodic to chaotic motion in dynamic systems.
Case (A) for an incommensurate system (12)
Compared with an integer-order system, the derivative order is an important parameter for a fractional-order system. For system (12), the system parameters and the initial conditions are fixed. The bifurcation diagrams with different values of the derivative order \(\alpha \in \left( {0.88,1} \right)\) and a time step of \(h = 0.001\) are employed to demonstrate the behavior of system (12), as shown in Fig. 14. From which it is evident that within the range of 0.895 ≤ α ≤ 0.9169, the system exhibits period doubling, while for α values in the range of 0.917 ≤ α ≤ 1.000, the suspension system displays chaotic vibrations.
Case (B) for a commensurate system (12)
Bifurcations with the variation of the system parameter b ∈ (4,7) are studied for α = 0.998, bifurcation diagram for system (12) is depicted in Fig. 15a. Clearly, the evolution of chaotic solutions and the period-doubling scenario bifurcation can be observed from this figure. The system indicates a period doubling bifurcation at b = 4.653 and two regions of chaotic oscillations for 4.83 ≤ b ≤ 5.3, 5.549 ≤ b ≤ 7. The corresponding Lyapunov spectrum as shown in Fig. 15b.
Discussion
This research delves into examining the dynamic behavior of single degree of freedom (SDOF) nonlinear quarter-car models by incorporating fractional order dynamics. By selecting a fractional order parameter \(\alpha\) of 0.998, the study ensures that the analysis of phase portraits, Lyapunov exponents, eigenvalues, and parameter-dependent bifurcations remains within the framework of fractional calculus. Figures 12 and 13 visually depict the evolution of phase trajectories, revealing their intricate nature, while also demonstrating non-periodic behavior in the time-domain response. The emergence of non-periodicity is particularly noteworthy when the largest Lyapunov exponent, represented as \(L_{3} = 0.7675\), takes on a positive value. This observation underscores the ability of fractional order dynamics to unveil chaotic regions at earlier stages compared to systems governed by integer order dynamics, especially as α approaches 1.
Furthermore, Fig. 12 provides a comprehensive illustration of the system’s response across varying α values. Within the α range of 0.88 to 0.9, the system undergoes period doubling, a phenomenon indicating a transition from periodic to quasi-periodic motion. Conversely, when α falls within the range of 0.97 to 1.000, the suspension system exhibits chaotic vibrations, representing a complex and unpredictable behavior as shown in Fig. 13. The bifurcation diagram presented in Fig. 15a clearly illustrates a period doubling bifurcation occurring at \(b = 4.653\), along with two regions characterized by chaotic oscillations within the parameter ranges of \(4.83 \le b \le 5.3\) and \(5.549 \le b \le 7\).
Moreover, the correlation between the observed behaviors and the Lyapunov spectrum, as depicted in Fig. 15b, reinforces the findings obtained from the analysis. The Lyapunov spectrum offers valuable insights into the stability properties of the system, with distinct regions corresponding to different dynamic behaviors. By examining the Lyapunov spectrum alongside the phase portraits and bifurcation diagrams, a holistic understanding of the system’s behavior across various fractional order parameters emerges, facilitating a deeper exploration of its dynamical characteristics and offering valuable implications for practical applications and system design.
