Abstract
Expressions are derived for the numerical computation of rms values for con trol force, suspension stroke and dynamic tyre deflection in a quarter-car vehicle model on a random road of given roughness. A quadratic performance index is employed and the effects of the assumed weighting factors on the r ms values and overall static stiffness determined.
