Analysis on Vehicle On-Center Performance

Abstract:

On-center handling performance for high speed vehicle is becoming more and more concerned. Road feel is the most indexes to evaluate the on-center handling performance. Steering system is the key part of the whole vehicle to affect the performance, which include much nonlinearity: steer ratio, dry friction and stiffness etc. In this paper, steering system model is set up by ADAMS, and embed into the whole vehicle model to study the effects of these nonlinearities on on-center handling performance.
