A design procedure for the optimization of vehicle suspensions

International Journal of Vehicle Design (IJVD), Vol. 5, No. 1/2, 1984

Abstract: The optimal design of passive suspensions in a nonlinear programming formulation is considered, based upon statistical analysis of vehicle vibrations and dynamic loads. The method of monotonicity analysis is employed in the optimization study which results in a special-purpose design algorithm. The simplicity of the computations allows fast and inexpensive past-optimal parametric study and development of design charts that give the optimal quantities for any given input.
