A multi-response robust optimization design method for EMU axle box spring based on signal- to-noise ratio and physical programming was proposed to realize the robustness of EMU spring quality characteristics. The quality characteristics of spring involving the quality, stiffness and natural frequency were not influenced by the variations in the design parameters of the spring itself, such as spring bar diameter, spring diameter, working circle number, shear modulus, density and so on. The values of the spring quality characteristics and the corresponding signal-to-noise ratio were calculated by the orthogonal experimental design method, and the signal-to-noise function of multi-response quality characteristics was obtained by fitting the least square method. The preference function corresponding to signal-to-noise ratio, which met the design requirements, was established by using physical programming according to the designer's preference for the quality characteristics of spring. The established preference function was used as the design objective. The multi-response robust optimization model of EMU axle box spring was constructed with the parameters of the spring itself as boundary conditions, with the strength and static deflection as constraints. A global robust optimal solution of the optimization model was solved through the combinatorial optimization with Latin hypercube sampling and multi-island genetic algorithm. Taking certain EMU axle box spring as an example, the robust optimal solution for spring quality characteristics was obtained by the proposed method. Compared with traditional method, the results indicate that the ro- bust design of the multi-response quality characteristics of axle box spring can be realized by the proposed method, which can provide references for the robust optimal design of other parts of EMU.
