Abstract
Optimization techniques can be applied to synthesize the design of automotive systems and components to meet product requirements. In this paper, the performance of two automotive designs - a rear suspension system and a clip shape - was improved by using optimization techniques. For each design, calculation of the performance indices and the formulation of the optimization problem are discussed.
