Abstract
In this paper, Taguchi method of robust optimization has been adapted along with Design of Experiments methodology and ANOVA to reduce the variability in the Ride comfort of a vehicle with respect to sprung mass of vehicle. It aims to find a combination of tyre pressure, spring stiffness and damping coefficient which gives a constant and targeted comfort value with reduced variance. The analysis suggests that the tyre pressure of 35psi with the spring stiffness of 26,000 N/m and damper of damping coefficient 418 N-s/m, maximize the SN ratio and reduce the deviation in RC due to mass, hence resulting into a robust design.
