Optimization of Suspension System for Minimization of Tire Dynamic Force

Abstract

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. The force transmitted by the deflection of Tires to the unsprung mass is known as the Tire-Dynamic Force (TDF). The force should be considered while designing the suspension system. The TDF can cause vehicle instability and increase in the sprung mass acceleration.
