다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper presents a method to optimize the suspension geometry, that is, hard points in front double whishbone type suspension of a jeep using the multi body dynamic simulation software and Taguchi method. The hard points have an effect on toe angle largely. The vehicle models include front and rear suspensions and are modeled with the interconnection of rigid bodies by kinematic joints and force elements using DADS. The design variables to have an effecton the kinematic characteristics are obtained through the parametric study and sensitive analysis with bump steer simulation of front suspension. An objective function is defined as the area of absolute differences between the desired and experimental toe angle. The design vahables that make the toe angle optimized are selected using the Taguchi method. The objective function for handling performance is RMU(Root Mean Squares) of the roll angle, roll rate, yaw rate, and lateral acceleration at center of the gravity of a body while lane change. To evaluate hard points of the optimized the front suspension, lane change simulations are performed.
