Abstract
In earlier publications, the authors have presented modeling and experimental validation results of suspension dynamics of front load horizontal-axis washing machines. In this paper, various formulations for suspension design optimisation are discussed and implemented using gridand sequential quadratic programmingoptimisation methods. It is concluded that minimisation of the maximum orbit displacement or minimisation of a weighted multiobjective function subject to the resistive stepping force constraint are suitable formulations. Moreover, the actual design of the test washing machine is verified for its optimality. This result and those of the previous publications confirm the utilisation of the simulation/optimisation package as a prototype design tool.
