Abstract:For simple structure and good nonlinear variable stiffness and damping characteristics, hydropneumatic suspension is widely used. According to the structure characteristics of the single chamber hydropneumatic suspension, it was parameter treated, and the experimental design analysis was performed using a quarter vehicle vibration system model. The structure parameters having largest influence on vehicle vibration performance and their combination were determined. Structural parameter optimization analysis was carried out to analyze the distribution of the structural parameters when the vehicle vibration performance was optimal. The parameters were optimized based on orthogonal experiment. And combining with the hydro pneumatic suspension mathematical model, ratio of piston diameter to piston rod diameter,ratio of damping hole diameter to piston rod diameter, ratio of oneway valve equivalent diameter to damping hole diameter were used to simplify the design process. The effects of hydropneumatic suspension parameters on vehicle running smooth and safe operation were analyzed,as well as the influence sequence measured by influence degree,then the main factors and secondary factors were determined. Through optimization analysis to the parameters of hydropneumatic suspension,it is known that: the initial position of the suspension affects the performance of the hydropneumatic suspension, followed by the ratio of piston diameter to piston rod diameter; design variables influencing the target size is as following: x0>λ1>τ2>τ1>d; in design process, λ1 and τ1 can value that the objective function value reaches minimum; the d and τ2 need to be selected according to the actual constraint condition under the trend of impact on the target function. After optimization, the system performance is greatly improved.
