Modeling and Simulation of Tractor and Aircraft Multibody System

Abstract:

The dynamics equation of tractor and aircraft multibody system is developed using Lagrange method. Tire model represent by spring and damper is used to analyze ride comfort for tractor and aircraft. In order to achieve effective numerical solution, the dynamics equation is solved by Runge-Kutta method. Typical towing operation is simulated, and the result provided analysis for towing force and ride comfort, also provided validation for the design of tractor.
