Abstract

Designing an optimized suspension system that meet the main functions of comfort, safety and handling on poor quality roads is a goal for researchers. This paper represents a software development guide for designers of suspension systems with less programming skills that will enable them to implement their own optimization methods that improve traditional methods by using their domain knowledge.

Highlights

  • The teams dedicated for research, development and hardware-software deployment from industrial companies tend to become more heterogeneous, combining researchers with mechanical, electronic and informatics skills

  • Designing an optimized suspension system that meet the main functions of comfort, safety and handling on poor quality roads is a goal for researchers

  • The non IT specialists apply a series of software tools specific to computer science domain for simulation and optimization without regard or understand the particularity of optimization method, in whose kernel you could intervene to customize them to bring a real scientific knowledge gain

Summary

Introduction

The teams dedicated for research, development and hardware-software deployment from industrial companies tend to become more heterogeneous, combining researchers with mechanical, electronic and informatics skills. Regarding the issue of suspension system optimization, in most approaches it is analysed just from mechanical viewpoint or mechanical accompanied by vision of transport and road vehicles engineers In this case, the non IT specialists apply a series of software tools specific to computer science domain for simulation and optimization without regard or understand the particularity of optimization method, in whose kernel you could intervene to customize them to bring a real scientific knowledge gain. This work can be seen as a useful learning tool for students of Industrial (Mechanical) Engineering specializations that successfully combines in their training knowledge from different scientific fields such as: Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence, Programming Languages, and Distributed Computing), Mathematics (Differential Equations), Transportation Engineering (Vehicle Design), Mechanical Engineering (Vibrations) to solve a real problem, even critical in Romania, characterized by a developing infrastructure and poor quality roads.
