Improvement of the Vehicle Stability Using Suspension Optimization Methods.

Öz

The number of studies that are supported suspension parameters with statistical methods is very small. However, many studies have been made on the dynamics of vehicle handling. For this reason, in this study, sensitivity analysis was performed using different stiffness values of the leaf spring and roll bar in the front suspension. The effects of the parameters on both static and dynamic analyzes were interpreted. In addition, the statistical t-test and Anova analysis were performed in order to compare means of two or three groups.
