this paper develops a computational model for the turning maneuver analysis of a cabover type heavy truck. The model having 42 degree-of-freedom is developed using ADAMS. Leaf springs used in the front and rear suspension systems are modeled by dividing it three links and joining them with joints. Force and displacement relationship showing nonlinear hysteric characteristics of the leaf spring is measured and modeled with an exponential function. A velocity and force relationship of a shock absorber is measured and modeled with a spline function. And a stabilizer bar is modeled using ADAMS beam element to consider a twisting and bending effect. To verify the developed model an actual vehicle test is performed in the double lane change course with 50kph and 60kph vehicle velocity. In the actual vehicle test lateral acceleration roll angle and yaw rate are measured, The tendency and peak-to-peak values of the actual vehicle test and simultion results are compared each other.

This paper deals with the lateral dynamic model of an all-wheel steered articulated vehicle to design a guidance controller. Nonlinear dynamic model of articulated vehicle is developed by complementing the model about the BRT system of California PATH in U. S. A. and the Phileas system of the APTS in Netherlands. Linear lateral dynamic model has been derived from the nonlinear dynamic model under some assumptions associated with the driving conditions. To design a guidance controller, we derive a transfer function that is steering angle as input and lateral acceleration as output from the linear lateral dynamic model by applying the parameter of vehicle that is developed by Korea Railroad Research Institute. To validate the dynamic model, nonlinear dynamic model has been compared with a vehicle model that has been programmed in ADAMS, and linear dynamic model has been compared with a nonlinear dynamic model under sime assumptions.

The paper presents an Experimental Vehicle Model (EVM), that utilizes the kinematic characteristics of suspensions from SPMD test data. The relative displacement and orientation of a wheel with respect to the body are represented as a function of the vertical displacement of the wheel. The equations of motion of the vehicle are formulated in terms of local coordinates that do not require coordinate transformation, which improves the efficiency of dynamic analysis. The EOM was modularized for each suspension model, and a $6{\times}6$ vehicle model was obtained by combining six suspensions. The analysis results were compared with ADAMS to verify the accuracy of the EVM. This study also verifies the feasibility of real-time simulation with the developed EVM. For a vehicle simulation for 1 ms, the real simulation time required within 20% of the prescribed time. This result shows that the EVM meets the real-time simulation requirements.

This paper discusses the dynamics stress of each boom, which occurs as a result of the conflicts on a multi-joint boom at the end effector and structure. In this process, CATIA was applied to create 3D modeling, ADAMS and ANSYS were then performed using mesh analysis by obtaining the stress data to create a MNF(Modal Neutral File) of multi-joint boom. Two types of MNF models were analyzed using ADAMS FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) performing to check the validity of each model. In this process, the models were verified by ADAMS, which performs the dynamic characteristics of conflict. The ADAMS Durability was used to analyze the maximum stress between the multi-joint boom and structure.

This paper is concerned with the robustness evaluations of the guidance controller for a bimodal tram which is being developed by the Korea Railroad Research Institute (KRRI). The bimodal tram is an all-wheel steered multiple-articulated vehicle as a new kind of transportation vehicle. This vehicle has to be equipped with an automatic guidance system. In [1], such a controller has been recently proposed. However, since the performance is affected by weight change of the vehicle due to number of the passenger, model parameter uncertainties depending on the state of friction and the elasticity of the tire, and a typhoon, the controller designed must be examined with these conditions. As expected, because the vehicle dynamics is highly nonlinear, for the sake of investigating the robustness of the controller we compose two simulation ways based on the vehicle models which are implemented by the ADAMS and the MATLAB/LabVIEW toolboxes. Different uncertainties and a typhoon disturbance have been considered for the simulation conditions. Simulation results are shown.

In this paper, a new uni-axial bushing model for vehicle dynamics analysis is proposed. Bushing components of a vehicle suspension system are tested to capture the nonlinear and hysteric behavior of the typical rubber bushing elements using the MTS machine. The results of the tests are used to develop the Bouc-Wen bushing model. The Bouc-Wen model is employed to represent the hysteretic characteristics of the bushing. ADAMS program is used for the identification process and VisualDOC program is also used to find the optimal coefficients of the model. Genetic algorithm is employed to carry out the optimal design. A numerical example is suggested to verify the performance of the proposed model.

In this paper, our aim is to develop a model for two cooperating flexible manipulators handling a rigid object by using lumped parameters. This model is in turn analyzed on MATLAB. In order to validate the model, a precise simulation model is developed using $ADAMS^{TM}$ (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical System). Moreover, to clarify the discussion, the motions of a dual-arm experimental flexible manipulator are considered. Using the developed model, we control a robotic system with a symmetric hybrid position/force control scheme. Finally, experiments and simulations are performed, and a comparison of simulation results with experimental results is given to a rerify the validity of our model.

Shock and vibration characteristics of a tractor-trailer type vehicle system with air suspension and air coupler running on a single bump road are investigated. The vehicle system is modelled and solved to two types of models, i.e. rigid-multi-body and flexible-multi-body model, by ADAMS and NASTRAN software. And the shock impulse is given by a single bump model on the road. When the analysis results of the rigid-multi-body model is compared with those of the flexible-multi-body model, it is revealed that the vibration and accelerations of the latter model are more repetitive and larger than the former.

Compliance effect consideration method for real-time multibody vehicle dynamics is proposed using quasi-static analysis. The multibody vehicle model without bush elements is used based on the subsystem synthesis method which provides real-time computation on the multibody vehicle model. Reaction forces are computed in the suspension subsystem. According to deformation from the quasi-static analysis using reaction forces and bush stiffness, suspension hardpoint locations and suspension linkage orientation are changed. To validate the proposed method, quarter car simulations of McPherson strut and multilink suspension subsystems. Full car bump run simulations are also carried out comparing with the ADAMS vehicle model with bush elements. CPU times are also measured to see the real-time capabilities of the proposed method.
