HEAVE-PITCH-ROLL DYNAMICS OF FLEXIBLE VEHICLE IN VARIABLE VELOCITY RUN

Analysis for response statistics evaluation of a flexible vehicle travelling with variable velocity over nonhomogeneously profiled flexible track is presented with a heave-pitch-roll model. The vehicle body is idealised as a flexible member with variable cross-section, inertia, damping and stiffness distributions. The vehicle may also have variable section slender elastic attachments. Coupled dynamics with rigid body heave-pitch-roll modes and elastic bending-torsion modes of the vehicle body along with coupled bending-torsion modes of the attachments are considered. Equivalent linear suspension system characteristics are employed for developing the analysis. Numerical results are presented for an aircraft with tricycle landing gear arrangements and comparison is made with other models. (A)
