This paper aims at improving the dynamic performance of nonlinear vibration-reduction system of the tracked ambulance, hence increasing the comfort of the sick and wounded. Three main tools are used to achieve this goal. First, a multi-objective method for parameter identification based on the improved partitioning and dimensional increment precise integration method and NSGA-II is proposed to identify the parameters of the nonlinear vibration-reduction system. Then the global sensitivity of the parameters with respect to the system outputs is studied by using the Sobol method. This is followed by the selection of the optimization variables according to the calculation of parameter sensitivity. Finally, the dynamic performance is optimized by using genetic algorithm. In this paper the parameter identification method proposed and the dynamic performance optimization applied is verified adaptable and effective as the dynamic performance indices are greatly improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
