Steering Analysis of Multi-Axle Vehicle Based on ADAMS/VIEW

Abstract:

In order to improve low-speed flexibility and high-speed handling and stability of multi-axle vehicle, a double-phase steering system was designed with planetary gear system. An in-phase steering mode is used when steering wheel turning in small angle. A adverse-phase steering mode is used when steering wheel turning in large angle. A five-axle vehicle simulation model was established with software ADAMS/VIEW. The research of all-wheel steering and non-all-wheel steering for high speed and low speed was respectively processed. When running in high speed, the lateral acceleration and yaw rate of the centroid are significantly lower when rear wheels steering in in-phase mode than the rear wheels not turning, which makes the possibility of roll and drift decrease, when vehicle overtaking in high-speed. When running in low speed, compared with rear wheels not steering, when rear wheels sreering, lateral acceleration increased by only 12.8%, yaw rate is 17.3% higher, diameter of the centroid trajectory is reduced by 12.9%, which greatly increases the mobility and flexibility of the multi-axle vehicle when turning at low speed.
