Abstract
In the present chapter the dynamic response of rail vehicles due to random excitation is dealt with by deriving very simple analytical formulae. The optimisation of railway vehicle suspension system is proposed by using multi-objective programming. Basic hints are given on how to select the railway vehicle suspension design variables to obtain the best trade-off between standard deviation of vertical acceleration at the body and standard deviation of secondary suspension stroke.
