Assignment brief

Program : Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Honours

Module Name : Control Engineering
Code : BME 3033/BEE 3093
Assignment : Individual assignment

Assignment submission guideline:

A Hard copy of the assignment signed by student with faculty cover sheet attached.
Also, assignment must be submitted in Microsoft word format or Pdf format to the
submission assignment provided on LMS.
Your lecture notes will give you the basic framework ONLY of the ideas, theories and
concepts you will need to complete the assignment. These notes will therefore NOT be
sufficient on their own. You will need to make use of the required reading, extra references
and any other material you come across in the course of researching your assignment.
Only academic references are accepted. Don’t cite those non-academic website or
articles (e.g. Wikipedia, google, etc.).

Late Submission
For any late submission without any good reasons, thus comply to the rules as per
mention below:
1 day late: 5 marks will be deducted from the mark achieved by the student
2 to 9 days late: a further 5 marks will be deducted from the mark achieved by the student
for each day the work remains unsubmitted
10 days late: a mark of zero will normally be recorded
Non-submission of work
Non-submission of work without extenuating circumstances will be counted as a
non- submission and marked as zero.

Assignment description
1. TASKS:
PLM Company is an automotive vendor company that provided services to
design a semi-active suspension system for MNB vehicle brand. As production
engineer, you are required to design a new semi-active damper for
crashworthiness system in a new vehicle to reduce the crash impact to the driver.
In preliminary stage you as production engineering need to provide a prediction
results to present to your client. By providing a part of crashworthiness in vehicle
which is single degree of freedom (SDOF) as in Figure 1, you need to evaluate
the performance of the proposed suspension system by using MATLAB Simulink
software and provide the evidence results compared to passive suspension
system. You are also required to design a control system for a semi-active
suspension for the vehicle. Then, you are required to provide technical report as
followed by customer needs:

Figure 1: Crashworthiness system of passenger vehicle

1. Classify the type of control loop system that able to implement for suspension
system. Why? Justify your answer.
[CLO1:PLO1:C2]
2. From the diagram in Figure 1, prepare mathematical equation for crash
impact model and build a model that includes passive damper system in
MATLAB Simulink. The parameters of quarter car model are as listed below.

m XY0 Kg
k YY 000 N/m
c ZZ 00 N-s/M

 *Important notes: the value of XYZ is obtained from the last 3 digits of your
matric number.

3. Based on the simulation analysis, analyze the response of the passive

damper system for this crash impact model.
[CLO3:PLO3: C4]
4. Develop a control system for a semi-active damper system and compare its
performance against passive damper system. Diagnose with discussion
based on the results obtained.
[CLO4:PLO3:C4]

Summary: From this assignment, the students need to provide a discussion for
comparing the characteristic performance between passive and semi-active damper
system for crash impact model. Each student will provide their own result and the
discussion should be related with parameters obtained.
