ABSTRACT
A sensitivity analysis of a suspension model has been performed in order to highlight the most influential parameters on the sprung mass displacement. To analyse this dynamical model, a new global and bounded dynamic method is investigated. This method, based on the interval analysis, consists in determining lower and upper bounds including the dynamic sensitivity indices. It requires only the knowledge of the parameter variation ranges and not the joint probability density function of the parameters which is hard to estimate. The advantage of the proposed approach is that it takes into account the recursive behavior of the system dynamics.
