A mathematic model was developed for the simulation of sideways overturning of agricultural tractors on slopes. The overturning motion was described as a combination of the rotational motions with respect to the first and second tipping axes using the principle of conservation of angular mementum. A stability criterion was also established in terms of angular acceleration of tractor about the second tipping axis. Verification of the proposed model was provided by comparing the stability boundaries predicted by computer simulation with those observed experimentally for an equivalent 1/6 scaled mode tractor. A good agreement was shown between the simulation and experimental results.

A mathematical model was developed to simulate sideways overturning of agricultural tractor-trailer systems. Sideways overturn of a tractor-trailer system was described by oscillatory motions of the tractor with respect to the first and second tipping axes, and of the trailer with respect to the drawbar hitch point when either the tractor or trailer rides over an obstacle on slopes. By a computer simulation, critical slope angles of the ground on which the tractor-trailer system is likely to sideways overturn were evaluated under the given operational conditions. Validity of the proposed mathematical model was proved by comparing the results of computer simulation and experiment with a model tractor-trailer system. A close agreement was observed between the two results.

The objective of this study was to analyze a stability of sideways overturning of a forwarder developed by the Forestry Research Institute. The stability analysis was conducted using a multibody dynamic analysis program. VisualNastran Desktop. A solid model of the forwarder was constructed and its physical properties such as mass, mass center and mass moment of inertia were determined on 3D CAD modeler of the Solid Edge 8.0. 3D simulations of sideways overturning of the forwarder were also performed on the Visual Nastran using the solid model when it traveled across the slope and traversed over an up-hill side obstacle. Stability comparison between a bogie-wheeled and a 6-wheeled forwarders was also made and found that the bogie-wheeled forwarder was more stable than the 6-wheeled one on slopes. The safety speeds of the forwarder predicted by the simulation under various conditions can be used as a guideline for safe operations of forwarders in mountainous area. The technique of using a solid model for the sability analysis can also be applied successfully to other vehicles like agricultural tractors, loaders and construction equipments.

This study was conducted to evaluate the sideways overturning stability of side loaded mini-forwarder. The model of a prototype was developed using a 3D CAD modeler and the performance was experimentally validated. The prototype model was run on the multibody dynamic analysis program, RecurDyn 6.0, to simulate motions when the model traversed over a circular bump on a inclined ground surface. The simulation was performed at a constant forward speed of 1.85 km/h under the loaded and unloaded conditions. The forward direction was also controlled to vary from 0 to 360 degrees with an increment of 10 degrees. Results of the simulation showed safe regions in which the mini forwarder could travel safely in terms of direction and slope of the ground. Even when the mini-forwarder was loaded by 20 logs of 3.6 m long and 12 cm diameter, it traveled safely within the ground slopes of 1 to 45 degrees by directions.

반궤도식 임내작업차의 주행안정성 분석을 위하여 동역학분석 프로그램인 RecurDyn을 이용하여 횡전도 분석, 등판능력 분석, 장애물 통과 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 동역학분석 프로그램을 해석하는데 필요한 반궤도식 임내 작업차의 형상은 3D CAD모델러인 AutoCAD 3D를 이용하여 모델링하였다. 반궤도식 임내작업차의 공차 및 적재 시에서 횡단기울기 $20^{\circ}$ 이하의 지형에서 주행하는 것이 안전하다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 종단기울기 시뮬레이션에서는 공차 및 적재 시에 종단경사 $28^{\circ}$ 미만의 지역에서 주행하는 것이 안정적인 것으로 판단되었다. 장애물 통과 시의 주행안정성은 공차 및 적재의 경우, 전륜타이어가 주행속도 각각 5 km/hr 및 4 km/hr 이상일 때 지면과 분리되는 것으로 예측되었으며, 후륜궤도는 지면과의 분리현상이 나타나지 않았으므로 장애물 통과 시에는 최대 5 km/hr 이하가 안전하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: It is to develop an agricultural three-directional dumping vehicle that can help farmers reduce intensive labor when carrying heavy loads and for easy dumping. In addition, a novel mechanism was applied for controlling the direction of the tilting cargo box by using a single hydraulic cylinder and simple apparatus. The overturning safety was analyzed to provide safe-use ground slope region of the vehicle to be used at upland fields and orchards. Methods: The developed three-directional dumping vehicle was constructed using a cargo box, vehicle frame, driving components, lifting components, and controller. The novel mechanism of controlling the dumping direction involves the operation of two latching bars, which selectively release or collapse the connecting edge between the vehicle frame and cargo box. A multibody dynamics analysis software (RecurDynV8R5) was used to determine the safe-use ground slope area when tilting the cargo box at slopes. A computer analysis was conducted by increasing the ground slope while rotating the vehicle when the cargo box comprised loads of 300 and 500 kg and stacking heights of 40 and 80 cm, respectively. Results: The three-directional dumping vehicle was successfully manufactured, and the cargo box was tilted at $37^{\circ}$ and $35^{\circ}$ for dumping forward and sideways. The latching bars were manually and selectively collapsed with the vehicle frame to control the dumping direction. When forward dumping, the safe-use ground slope was over $20^{\circ}$ in all vehicle directions and loaded conditions. Conclusions: A three-directional dumping vehicle was developed to reduce labor-intensive work in the farming environment. The user can easily control the dumping direction by using the control panel. The vehicle was safe to be used in most of the Korean upland fields and orchards (area over 96%) for the forward dumping.
