Simulation Analysis of Vehicle Crosswind Stability in ADAMS/CAR

Article Preview

Abstract:

The vehicle simulation model of 78-DOF is built based on ADAMS/CAR. Both rationality and accuracy of simulation model are verified by comparison analysis methods between real vehicle test and virtual simulation test. The mathematical model of wind pressure center and lateral aerodynamic force are formulated by using the STEP function. The simulation results indicate that the vehicle has the excellent crosswind stability and congruent dynamic response, which agrees with United States (ESV) standard.
