heal.abstract	This paper attempts to optimize the critical characteristics of a fixed-tank vehicle, with respect to its vertical dynamics. For the description of the vehicle, a linear half-car model with 6 degrees of freedom is implemented, corresponding to its pitch-bounce motion and the suspension characteristics, as well as the equivalent stiffness and damping coefficients of tank's supports and vehicle suspensions are optimized under various road excitations, with respect to the vertical performance of the chassis and the tank. The BFGS, BOX and Evolution Strategy are the algorithms which are implemented for the optimization tasks.	en
