This study constructs a nonlinear dynamic model of articulated vehicles and a model of hydraulic steering system. The equations of state required for nonlinear vehicle dynamics models, stability analysis models, and corresponding eigenvalue analysis are obtained by constructing Newtonian mechanical equilibrium equations. The objective and subjective causes of the snake oscillation and relevant indicators for evaluating snake instability are analysed using several vehicle state parameters. The influencing factors of vehicle stability and specific action mechanism of the corresponding factors are analysed by combining the eigenvalue method with multiple vehicle state parameters. The centre of mass position and hydraulic system have a more substantial influence on the stability of vehicles than the other parameters. Vehicles can be in a complex state of snaking and deviating. Different eigenvalues have varying effects on different forms of instability. The critical velocity of the linear stability analysis model obtained through the eigenvalue method is relatively lower than the critical velocity of the nonlinear model.

Abstract This paper investigates a three-degrees-of-freedom (DoF) shimmy model of vehicle front wheels with steering system and dependent suspension. The contact models of rigid ground and elastic tire are analyzed from the viewpoint of predicting shimmy. Pacejka's magic formula and the delayed tire model are compared by means of stability charts in various parameter domains. Conclusions are obtained regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the use of the delayed tire model.

Abstract In this paper, a comprehensive three-dimensional heavy vehicle model is developed to investigate the effectiveness of an open-loop roll instability control. The steering system compliance, roll steer, bump steer, ackerman steer and wrap steer are incorporated in the vehicle model, along with comprehensive tire model and ABS algorithm. Time delays due to driver’s reaction and the transportation lag of the braking system are characterized by a variable called reaction delay. The rollover indicators in terms of roll safety factor, tractor and trailer lateral accelerations and roll angles, and the rearmost axle roll angle are investigated for their effectiveness for open-loop roll stability control in various cornering and evasive maneuvers, road conditions, braking efforts, and different reaction delays.

This paper presents a mathematical model for multi-axle vehicles Inclusive of steering system, suspension system, tire model, body system. Considering possible factors related to turning motion such as vehicle configuration and suspension, equations of motion were constructed to predict steerability and stability of these vehicles. Turning radius, slip angle at the mass center, and each wheel velocity were obtained by numerically solving the equations. The simulation model is made by MATLAB based on the mathematic equation. To analyze the influence of the wheelbase layout on vehicle stability, driving performance and stability of the vehicle with three wheelbase layout is simulated based on the present model. It is concluded that the wheelbase between second axle and third axle should be long to get better stability when vehicle turning with rear axles.
