MECHANISMS FOR THE REAR AXLE STEERING BOX WITH INTEGRAL STEERING

Types of Mechanisms Destinated to Steering Boxes on Back Auto Axle

The motor vehicles which dispose of two steering auto decks, at which back and front wheels are positioned backwards for reducing the veering radius, has the advantage of reducing the stability at high speeds in auto racing. In this paper is made an analysis of the steering boxes on back axle variant, which combine the advantage of reducing veering radius with keeping its whole stability.

Analysis and Optimization of the Double-Axle Steering Mechanism with Dynamic Loads

A hierarchical optimization procedure for the optimal synthesis of a double-axle steering mechanism used in truck with dynamic loads is presented. A multibody model of double-axle steering mechanism is presented to characterize the leaf spring effect. The influences of dynamic loads, the motion interference of steering linkage resulted from the elastic deformation of leaf spring, and the effect...

Integrated Active Front Steering and Semiactive Rear Differential Control in Rear Wheel Drive Vehicles

Abstract: Many vehicle control systems are based on the yaw rate error to help the driver during oversteer and understeer conditions. The control systems usually operate on brake pressures distributions such as ESP and/or on active front and rear steering control. Recently many papers are focused on the design of integrated global chassis control systems. The main contribution of this paper is ...

Integrated control of active rear differential and front wheel steering in rear wheel drive vehicles

Many vehicle control systems were designed and implemented in the last years to enhance performances and stability acting on front and/or rear steering actuators [1,2,3] and/or individual wheel braking [8]; the development of electroactuated differentials allows to transfer torque between wheels from the faster to the slower one in semiactive differentials [11,12,13,14] and in both directions i...
