Abstract
This paper presents on optimal vehicle seat suspension design for a quarter car model to reduce vibrations. With the aid of MATLAB/Simulink a simulation model is achieved. As the response surface methodology is a traditional technique for experimental process optimization. Recently a new approach to this problem has been tried with response surface methodology and Taguchi which is new in the statistical field. For the Response surface methodology, an experimental design was chosen in order and optimized for controlling parameters. Simultaneously, Taguchi optimization technique is implemented to know the effect of parameters over response.
