Dynamic Analysis of Off-Road Vehicles

چکیده
This paper deals with the simulation of oo-road robots while taking into account the mechanical behavior of the locomotion system and its interaction with its environment. This interaction is studied and discussed for diierent behaviors of wheel-soil contact. The analysis considers phenomena of slips, of soil shear deformations, of soil compaction and wheel elastic deformation. Wheel-soil contact models are expressed by analytical relationships which link each contact force components (radial, longitudinal and lateral forces) to relative displacements (radial displacement, longitudinal slip ratio and side slip angle). These laws are then coupled to the dynamic equations of the mechanical system in order to characterize the behavior of the whole system. These models are implemented on a graphic simulation system which provides a basic tool for the design of the mechanical system, for the path planning and for the deenition of control schemes.

Dynamic Analysis and Stability of Articulated Liquid Cargo Vehicles with Tank Baffles
Articulated liquid cargo vehicles transporting inflammable fuels and dangerous chemical products require special consideration when traveling on urban roads or cruising at highway speeds. The road safety and handling of these kinds of vehicles may be adversely affected when negotiating sharp turns or travelling on slippery roads, which may result in either lateral instabilities or complete roll...

متن کاملGear shift optimization for off-road construction vehicles
This paper explores the possibility of using recorded road slope data in order to reduce fuel consumption for off-road construction vehicles such as articulated haulers. Road gradients have strong influence on the fuel consumption of a vehicle. This effect is even more significant on construction vehicles due to their large mass and heavy load. In this study, a control algorithm based on model ...

Abstract: This study is carried out to describe the behaviour of vehicles flow on the road, in the presence of blocking effects. A non-linear three dimensional system of ordinary differential equations is used to describe vehicles flow on the road. The study classify total vehicles population on the road into three compartments as Free – Slow – Released vehicles. The formulated model is well-po...

Introduction: Sleepiness may predispose drivers to road traffic accidents. Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome is the most common medical cause of sleepiness. Hence increased neck circumference (NC) and obesity are known as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome risk factors. This study was conducted to assess OSAS role in occurrence of road traffic accidents in sleeping drivers of commercial heavy veh...
