This paper presents an alternative approach for determining the vibration modal parameters, in terms of natural frequencies, damping ratios and modal shapes of a roll-plane half-car fitted with a general hydraulically interconnected suspension system. The dynamic model of the system, which consists of the sprung mass and the HIS and the wheels, is formulated using the state space representation approach. The state variables describing rigid body motions of the sprung and unsprung masses are heavily coupled with those describing the dynamics of HIS fluid circuits. A numerical simulation scheme is developed to obtain the transient and free decay responses of the half car vehicle using specific initial conditions or road inputs. The obtained results are compared with those determined from the free vibration analysis of the system using the transfer matrix method. Discussions on the advantages and limitations of the presented method are also provided.
