Abstract:

Summaries are presented of the analytic techniques available for three levitated vehicle suspension optimization problems: optimization of passive elements for fixed configuration; optimization of a free passive configuration; optimization of a free active configuration. The techniques are applied to a heave dynamic model which includes gravity forces, random aerodynamic forces and random guideways making use of penalty functions which include vehicle acceleration, suspension displacement, gap variation, power requirements.
