Abstract
The CRONE suspension, French acronym of “suspension à Comportement Robuste d’Ordre Non Entier”, results from a traditional suspension system whose spring and damper are replaced by a mechanical and hydropneumatic system defined by a fractional (so-called non-integer) order force–displacement transfer function. ‘ling, frequency-domain robust control design methodology, optimal approach, stability analysis and performance are presented in this paper.
