Simulation OF Quarter Car Model

Abstract

Vehicle suspension design includes a number of compromises to provide good leveling of stability and ride comfort. Suspension system has to perform complexity requirements, which includes road holding and equality, driving pleasure, riding comfort to occupant. Riding pleasure depends on vertical acceleration, with main objective to minimize vertical acceleration. In this work, the geometric parameters of suspension system are optimized using Matlab as an optimization tool. The values of tire deflection reduced from 0.023 to 0.021 m and Seat acceleration reduced from 34.19 to 31.86 m/s2.
