This paper addresses the question of whether, and under what conditions, an EHSA can completely replace a conventional one. In this way, any conventional suspension could be replicated at will, while recovering part of the wasted energy. This paper focuses on mimicking the original passive damper behavior by continuously varying the electrical parameters of the regenerative damper. For this study, a typical ball-screw EHSA is chosen, and its equivalent suspension parameters are tried to be matched to the initial damper. The methodology proposes several electrical control circuits that optimize the dynamic behavior of the regenerative damper from the continuous variation of a load resistance. The results show that, given a target damper curve, the regenerative damper can adequately replicate it when there is a minimum velocity in the damper. However, when the damper velocity is close to zero, the only way to compensate for inertia is through the introduction of external energy to the system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21134378","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,27]],"date-time":"2021-06-27T23:57:22Z","timestamp":1624838242000},"page":"4378","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Can a Semi-Active Energy Harvesting Shock Absorber Mimic a Given Vehicle Passive Suspension?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2797-9381","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge A.","family":"Reyes-Avenda\u00f1o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering and Sciences, Tecnologico de Monterrey, Monterrey 64849, NL, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8122-3844","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ciro","family":"Moreno-Ram\u00edrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Industrial Engineering and Automotive Department, Universidad Antonio de Nebrija, Pirineos 55, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4920-3127","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Gij\u00f3n-Rivera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering and Sciences, Tecnologico de Monterrey, Monterrey 64849, NL, Mexico"},{"name":"Industrial Engineering and Automotive Department, Universidad Antonio de Nebrija, Pirineos 55, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6495-9980","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hugo G.","family":"Gonzalez-Hernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering and Sciences, Tecnologico de Monterrey, Monterrey 64849, NL, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6040-5240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Luis","family":"Olazagoitia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Industrial Engineering and Automotive Department, Universidad Antonio de Nebrija, Pirineos 55, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"675","article-title":"Design, modeling, and road tests of electromagnetic energy-harvesting shock absorbers","volume":"Volume 3","author":"Li","year":"2012","journal-title":"Dynamic Systems and Control Conference"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"689","DOI":"10.1109\/TMECH.2019.2892824","article-title":"An Innovative Energy Harvesting Shock Absorber System using Cable Transmission","volume":"24","author":"Bowen","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
