Research and Teaching Interest

Our research areas are mainly focused on the vehicle general technology and the intelligent steering & suspension technology. In the vehicle general technology area, two full vehicle design projects and one vehicle body design project have been accomplished based on vehicle system dynamic theory and vehicle body processing technology, and one of the full vehicle projects was awarded the second prize of National Defense Science and Technology Progress Award. In the intelligent steering & suspension technology area, our interests are: active control suspension technology for high mobility of off-road vehicle, electro-hydraulic all-wheel steering technology for the low-speed mobility and the high-speed stability of off-road vehicle, the high-mobility technology of heavy duty off-road vehicle, vehicle height observing and control technology for air suspension in coupling conditions.
