  Design and Optimization of Locomotive Suspension System Using Ant Colony Optimization

  By B. Bhavani, S. Srinivas Prasad, J.P. Karthik

  Abstract: The objective of design and optimization of helical spring is weight reduction with adequate strength and stiffness. Weight reduction of helical spring will contribute to the reduction of unsparing mass. This will help in improving the vibration characteristics and hence, the riding qualities of a train. Optimization is the act of obtaining the best result under given circumstances. Conventional design aims at finding an acceptable design which merely satisfies the …
