Optimization of Double Pivot Suspension Kingpin Axis during Steering

Article Preview

Abstract:

A double pivot suspension used for in-wheel motor electric vehicle was designed, and the virtual prototype model of the suspension assembly was build. The suspension parameters changed greatly during steering. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposed a non-linear response surface model to fit the relationship of suspension parameters and design variables. An optimization scheme was designed based on the response surface model. The suspension performance was improved significantly using optimized variables.
