Calculation of a Fixed–Tank Vehicle Optimum Dynamic Performance

This study aims at optimizing the dynamics of a fixed – tank three – axle vehicle, with respect to both its vertical and lateral performance. This is accomplished by developing a hybrid optimization algorithm, which combines the conventional Evolution Strategy with well known deterministic methods, such as line – search and/or trust – region. By utilizing a Monte Carlo analysis, the stiffness and damping characteristics of vehicle's suspensions are optimized with respect to the pitch and roll angles of the sprung mass, taking under consideration the design limitations, the geometrical constraints of the vehicle, as well as the lateral acceleration at overturn.
