MATHEMATICAL FORMULATION OF WHEELED VEHICLE DYNAMICS FOR HYBRID COMPUTER SIMULATION

THE REPORT CONTAINS THE MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS OF MOTION REQUIRED TO CONSTRUCT A HYBRID MODEL SIMULATION OF A VEHICLE OPERATING ON RIGID TERRAIN. THEY ARE GROUPED ROUGHLY BY VEHICLE COMPONENTS: SPRUNG MASS, UNSPRUNG MASS, SUSPENSION, DRIVE TRAIN/BRAKES, WHEELS AND TIRES. EQUATIONS REPRESENTING BOTH THE DOUBLE A-ARM AND THE SOLID AXLE SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND TWO DIFFERENT TIRE MODELS (ONE ASSUMING THE 'FRICTION CIRCLE' AND THE OTHER THE FRICTION ELLIPSE CONCEPT OF TOTAL TIRE FORCE) ARE INCLUDED. /AUTHOR/
