Validation of vehicle structure by use of finite element analysis is at the core of reduction of product development time. In the early phase of validation it is required to evaluate the strength of t....
The paper contains experimental results of soil stress state under loading of commercial wheeled vehicles. The measurements were performed with the use of SSTs (Stress State Transducers), which enable....
Vehicle dynamics models often assume that the suspension attachment locations on the chassis are fixed and do not deform. However, this is not always a good assumption as the chassis can deform causin....
Suspension system dynamics can be obtained by various methods and vehicle design has gained great advantages over the dynamics analysis. By employing the new Udwadia-Kalaba equation, we endeavor some ....
This paper shows the disc-adapter-integrated hub to which the avoidance of braking heat and thermal radiation is applied. Also, it shows that the weight reduction by the integration with the disc adap....
The objective of this paper is to enhance the accuracy of tire model combined tire cornering and braking forces with anisotropic tread and carcass stiffness. The difference of tire longitudinal slip s....
Leaf springs are mainly used for absorbing energy associated with road outputs and they release energy coming from the road. If the complete leaf stiffness and each leaf stress distribution can be cal....
Parabolic leaf springs are safety components on the suspension system. They provide ride comfort due to calculated stiffness characteristics and they absorb and release energy associated with the road....
A graphical user interface (GUI) toolbox called Vehicle System Simulator (VSS) is developed in MATLAB to ease the use of this vehicle model and hopefully encourage its widespread application in the fu....
When modeling the dynamic behavior of a vehicle with a flexible chassis, it is often necessary to model the deformation of the chassis in order to obtain accurate simulation results. Typical solutions....
