Abstract: | This study presents the robust design optimization process of suspension system for improving vehicle dynamic performance
(ride comfort, handling stability). The proposed design method is so called target cascading method where the design target
of the system is cascaded from a vehicle level to a suspension system level. To formalize the proposed method in the view
of design process, the design problem structure of suspension system is defined as a (hierarchical) multilevel design optimization,
and the design problem for each level is solved using the robust design optimization technique based on a meta-model. Then,
In order to verify the proposed design concept, it designed suspension system. For the vehicle level, 44 random variables
with 3% of coefficient of variance (COV) were selected and the proposed design process solved the problem by using only 88
exact analyses that included 49 analyses for the initial meta-model and 39 analyses for SAO. For the suspension level, 54
random variables with 10% of COV were selected and the optimal designs solved the problem by using only 168 exact analyses
for the front suspension system. Furthermore, 73 random variables with 10% of COV were selected and optimal designs solved
the problem by using only 252 exact analyses for the rear suspension system. In order to compare the vehicle dynamic performance
between the optimal design model and the initial design model, the ride comfort and the handling stability was analyzed and
found to be improved by 16% and by 37%, respectively. This result proves that the suggested design method of suspension system
is effective and systematic. |
