A hydraulic attenuator has been used in hydraulic active suspension systems of automotive vehicles to reduce high amplitude ripple pressure of a pump. The hydraulic attenuator considered in this study is so highly non-linear and of high order that the analysis in the time domain has been performed infrequently, although the frequency response analysis with the transfer matrix method was applicable. In this paper, a state space representation of the dynamics for a hydraulic attenuator is presented, utilizing the electrical analogy. The results of the experiment are compared with those of the simulation to validate the state space model proposed. The comparison reveals that the state space model proposed is practically applicable for estimating the dynamic responses of the hydraulic attenuator in the time domain.
