First, the stiffness and damping characteristics of the semi-active scissors linkage seat suspension are analyzed and a simplified model of the semi-active scissors linkage seat suspension is introduced. Then, the forward and inverse models of magnetorheological damper are described by the neural network method. Furthermore, the robust state-feedback H¡Þ control is established by considering the system uncertainties. The proposed approach is finally validated by experiment on a test rig under different sinusoidal excitations and load masses. Experimental results show that the human vibration is reduced up to 47.66% compared with the uncontrolled system %K Magnetorheological damper %K scissors linkage seat suspension %K H¡Þ control %K load mass uncertainty %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1045389X18778340
