Abstract
In a vehicle having a chassis and at least one wheel assembly, where the wheel assembly includes a wheel support member, a damping mass, a damping spring for connecting the damping mass to the wheel support member, and a mechanical resistive member in parallel with the damping spring, a suspension connecting the wheel assembly to the chassis, the suspension supporting the weight of the vehicle and isolating the wheel motion from the chassis motion, and at least one actuator for providing force between the wheel assembly and the chassis, the improvement provides a linear electric motor connected between the wheel assembly and the chassis, where the linear electric motor provides force between the wheel assembly and the chassis.
