Tyre Models for Vehicle Dynamics Analysis

Computing Sensitivity Analysis of Vehicle Dynamics Based on Multibody Models

Vehicle dynamics simulation based on multibody dynamics techniques has become a powerful tool for vehicle systems analysis and design. As this approach evolves, more and more details are required to increase the accuracy of the simulations, to improve their efficiency, or to provide more information that will allow various types of analyses. One very important direction is the optimization of m...

Vehicle Lateral State Estimation Based on Measured Tyre Forces

Future active safety systems need more accurate information about the state of vehicles. This article proposes a method to evaluate the lateral state of a vehicle based on measured tyre forces. The tyre forces of two tyres are estimated from optically measured tyre carcass deflections and transmitted wirelessly to the vehicle body. The two remaining tyres are so-called virtual tyre sensors, the...

Liquid Sloshing Effect Analysis on Lateral Dynamics of an Articulated Vehicle Carrying Liquid for Various Filled Volumes

In this paper, the consequences of filled volume on the transient lateral dynamic and stabilities boundaries displacement of an articulated vehicle carrying liquid is investigated. First, a sixteen-degrees-of-freedom nonlinear dynamic model of an articulated vehicle is developed. Then, the model is validated by using TruckSim software. Next, the dynamic interaction of the fluid cargo with the v...
