Stochastic simulation technique has advantages over deterministic simulation in various engineering analysis, since stochastic simulation can take into consideration of scattering of various design variables. which is inherent characteristics of physical world. In this work. Monte-Carlo simulation mothod in ADAMS/Insight for steady-state cornering and J-turn behavior of a truck with design variables like hard points and busing stiffnesses hare performed to achieve better dynamic performance. The main purpose is to improve understeer gradient at steady-state cornering and minimize peak lateral acceleration and peak yaw rate at J-turn Through correlation analysis. design variables that have high impacts on the cornering behavior were selected. and significant performance improvement has been achieved bj- appropriately changing the high impact design variables.
