Ride Comfort and Roll Characteristics of Tandem { Axled Trucks

چکیده
abstract Usually, vehicles driven under diierent road conditions are subjected to various forces and moments. An uneven input force originating from road surface could be one of the major load aaecting ride comfort or body vibration. In order to investigate the ride and handling characteristics of a tandem axle truck, a three dimensional mathematical model is developed , and the equations of motion for the proposed model with fourteen degrees-of-freedom are derived. Various numerical techniques are used to solve this complex matrix equation. A computer program, capable of vibration isolation and dynamic analysis of tandem-axle truck, is presented. The sensitivity analysis for the parameter variation of the simulation model is investigated and the overall eeects of anti-roll bar is also examined.

متن کاملInfluence from horizontal and/or roll motion on nausea and motion sickness Experiments in a moving vehicle simulator
background, aims, methods, results) max 200 words: Tilting trains reduce the perceived lateral acceleration for the passengers by tilting the car-body to improve the ride comfort. However, some susceptible passengers may experience nausea. To study the influence from either lateral accelerations and/or simultaneous roll motions, a simulator study was undertaken. About 40 subjects were taking pa...

1 Improving Safety, Comfort and Efficiency of Convoy Vehicles Through Novel Preview Control Fuel consumption and emissions are major concerns associated with heavy trucks, and both can be reduced if the trucks travel in a very closely-spaced platoon [1]. The military deploys trucks in closelyspaced convoys where the terrain can be highly variable and the drivers often inexperienced. Traffic acc...
