Actually, it is an active suspension system that has two axles, both rear and front axles, and each axle has left and right suspension mass (a full vehicle suspension system). Each suspension mass has a spring, a damper, an actuator force and a tire, and did I mentioned the tires stiffness? The assumption is that the vehicle moves at a constant speed along an even road. I wrote the differential equations. Also, I obtained the matrices.

I would be grateful if there is anyone to help me out."
