Robust Pareto active suspension design for vehicle vibration model with probabilistic uncertain parameters

Using the robust design of a vehicle vibration model considering uncertainties can elaborately show the effects of those unsure values on the performance of such a model. In this paper, probabilistic metrics, instead of deterministic metrics, are used for a robust Pareto multi-objective optimum design of five-degree of freedom vehicle vibration model having parameters with probabilistic uncertainties. In order to achieve an optimum robust design against probabilistic uncertainties existing in reality, a multi-objective uniform-diversity genetic algorithm (MUGA) in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulation is used for Pareto optimum robust design of a vehicle vibration model with ten conflicting objective functions. The robustness of the design obtained using such a probabilistic approach is shown and compared with that of the design obtained using deterministic approach.
