OPTIMIZATION OF VEHICLE SUSPENSION SYSTEM USING GENETIC ALGORITHM

Modeling the suspension of an automobile is of interest for many automotive and vibration engineers. Of importance for these engineers is the ride quality of the vehicle traversing over broken roads and control of body motion. When traveling over rough terrain, the vehicle exhibits bounce (up and down), pitch (rotation about the center of gravity along the vehicle's length) and roll (rotation about the center of gravity along the vehicle's width) motions.
