본 논문에서는 능동 전륜 조향장치(AFS)에 의한 횡력의 크기가 제한된 상황에서 자세 제어장치(ESC)와 능동 전륜 조향(AFS)을 이용한 통합 새시 제어기의 최적 요모멘트 분배 방법을 제안한다. 차량을 안정화시키는데 필요한 제어 요모멘트는 슬라이딩모드 제어이론을 이용하여 구한다. 가중 역행렬 기반 제어 할당 방법을 이용하여 제어 요모멘트를 ESC의 제동력과 AFS의 추가 조향각으로 분배한다. 저마찰 노면에서 AFS에 의한 횡력이 물리적 최대값을 초과하는 경우 제어 요모멘트를 제대로 만들어내지 못하므로 가중 역행렬 기반 제어 할당 방법을 이용하여 AFS에 의한 횡력의 크기를 제한하고 ESC의 제동력으로 부족한 제어 요모멘트를 보상하는 방법을 제안한다. 차량 시뮬레이션 패키지인 $CarSim^{(R)}$에서 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 AFS에 의한 횡력이 물리적 최대값을 초과하는 경우 제안된 방법이 차량의 조종 안정성과 횡방향 안정성을 향상시킨다는 사실을 검증했다.

It is called vehicle pull when a vehicle drifts in the lateral direction under the straight-ahead motion with no steering or external input. Recently vehicle pull draws attention as one of the critical evaluation items from the customers on the vehicle quality. It is generally recognized that the vehicle pull is complex phenomena due to internal and external factors. In this paper the relations between vehicle pull and ire were investigated through close survey on the road test results from the final inspection of car manufactures. Through this investigation the factors are identified which play an important role in causing vehicle pull problem.

The flow characteristics around a rudder in open water condition is analyzed by the computational method. Reynolds averaged Navier-Stoke's equation is utilized for the computation. The computational hydrodynamic force coefficients are verified through comparing with the experimental results. The information of these flow characteristics is necessary to predict cavitation and maneuvering performances, to estimate steering gear capacitance, and to get the bending moment which is useful for the structural analysis. The pressure distribution, the three-dimensional flow separation, and the tip vortices are investigated. The pattern of the three-dimensional flow separation is analyzed utilizing a topological rule. The tip vortices are also investigated through a visualization technique.

In this paper, we discusses compliant actuators those are made of electrostrictive polymer. Electrostrictive polymer actuators(EPAs) are based on the deformation of dielectric elastomer polymer in the presence of an electric field. We address actual design and fabrication method of an actuator using the electrostrictive polymer. We have developed primitive prototypes of the actuator using elastic restoring force. And they actuators have 1 to 3 DOF, 1 DOF actuators are simple linear actuators and 3 DOF actuator has linear actuation and steering capability. They are simple in structure with lightweight, high trust, force and large stroke. Basic design principles and experimental procedures for confirming their performance will be introduced.

대형트럭으로 견인되는 트레일러는 무게중심이 일반 차량에 비해 상대적으로 높기 때문에 전복사고 위험이 높게 된다. 곡선 주행 구간에서 차체를 기울여 곡선부의 주행속도를 향상시키는 원리를 적용하는 틸팅 시스템은 고속철도 차량에서 먼저 그 개념이 연구되고 사용되어 왔는데, 이 논문에서는 일반 대형트럭의 트레일러 적재함에 이 틸팅 시스템을 적용함으로써 아주 작은 틸팅각의 변화로도 급회전 시 주행 안정성을 크게 개선할 수 있는 가능성에 대해 연구하였다. 틸팅 가능한 트레일러의 동역학적 모델을 사용하여 선회주행 시 운동 관계식을 유도함으로써 주어진 도로 선회반경과 하중조건에 대해 원심력 효과와 수직력의 균형으로 전복임계속도를 결정할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 보수적인 기준을 선택하여 한쪽 바퀴가 지면으로부터 떨어지는 순간을 전복임계상태로 정의하였다. 실제로 틸팅 시스템을 작동시키기 위해서는 조향각과 주행속도로부터 최적 틸팅각을 계산해야 한다. 트레일러가 달린 대형트럭을 간단하게 모델링하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 곡선주행시 차량의 틸팅각에 따른 전복임계속도의 변화를 분석하고, 틸팅의 효과를 입증하였다.

In this study, we developed a dynamic model and steering controller model for an autonomous tractor and evaluated their performance. The traction force was measured using a 6-component load cell, and the rotational speed of the wheels was monitored using proximity sensors installed on the axles. Torque sensors were employed to measure the axle torque. The PI (proportional integral) controller's coefficients were determined using the trial-error method. The coefficient of the P varied in the range of 0.1 - 0.5 and the I coefficient was determined in 3 increments of 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1. To validate the simulation model, we conducted RMS (root mean square) comparisons between the measured data of axle torque and the simulation results. The performance of the steering controller model was evaluated by analyzing the damping ratio calculated with the first and second overshoots. The average front and rear axle torque ranged from 3.29 - 3.44 and 6.98 - 7.41 kNm, respectively. The average rotational speed of the wheel ranged from 29.21 - 30.55 rpm at the front, and from 21.46 - 21.63 rpm at the rear. The steering controller model exhibited the most stable control performance when the coefficients of P and I were set at 0.5 and 0.01, respectively. The RMS analysis of the axle torque results indicated that the left and right wheel errors were approximately 1.52% and 2.61% (at front) and 7.45% and 7.28% (at rear), respectively.

The objective of this study analyzes the influence of shimmy & shake phenomena due to tire design parameters which are RFV(radial force variation), DB(dynamic balance), RRO(radial run out) and air pressure. These parameters are inspection items for Q.C. after tires are manufactured. In order to analyze these parameters on this study, vehicle driving tests were achieved. The test modes are two type which are constant speed and coast-down driving. On this tests the dynamic characteristics of shimmy & shake are measured by the 3-axises accelerometers at the various positions that are knuckle(left & right), rack pinion, seat and steering wheel. In according to analyzed results, the longitudinal vibration of knuckle parts affects the lateral vibration of rack pinion and this vibration affects the lateral vibration of steering wheel that is the shimmy phenomena. Also the over and under DB by comparison with normal DB and the increment of RRO affect the occurrence of shimmy & shake phenomena.

This study proposes a method to determine the effective angular velocity of each motor of a specific four-rows tracked vehicle (FRTV) in order to follow a given turning radius. The configuration of the four-rows tracked vehicle is introduced, and its dynamics analysis model is built using the DAFUL commercial software. The soil has been assumed to be hard ground, and the friction force between the ground and the tracked links is calculated using the Coulomb friction model. This paper uses a simulation to show that the error in the position increased with respect to the angle of the curvatures, so a method is proposed to compensate for the error in the motion of the motors. Various simulations are then carried out to verify the proposed formulation. The effects of the soil characteristics and the driving velocity will be further investigated in future studies.

The influence of tire belt angle on the Plysteer Residual Aligning Torque(PRAT) and the cornering stiffness by the FEM has been studied. The PRAT is a performance factor of the tire about vehicle pull, and the cornering stiffness has relation to vehicle steering response of outdoor test. To validate FE model for analysis, simulation data for both the static stiffness(vertical, lateral) and the PRAT have been compared with the experimental data. In addition to the characteristics of the PRAT and the cornering stiffness due to the tire belt angle, rolling and cornering contact characteristics have been studied. The tendency of the PRAT and the cornering stiffness due to the belt angle can be used as a guide line for the tire design in relation to vehicle pull and vehicle steering response.

This paper presents the deformation characteristics of the moving pressure plate in a balanced type vane pump that widely used automotive power steering systems. Moving pressure plate can control the clearance between rotor and plate in accordance with load pressure variation; it always guarantees that pump to have optimal volumetric efficiency. In this paper, firstly, we calculate the acting force on the pressure plate, which is used to determine the angular position and load condition for analyzing the deformation of pressure plate. Secondary, finite element method is used for the deformation analysis. As results of acting force analysis, it is found that maximum difference of forces occurs at angular position 28$\circ$ from the small arc center of cam ring and load pressure is a dominant factor to affect acting force variation. The deformation of pressure plate increases as load pressure increases. At high load pressure, the deformation of pressure plate becomes larger than the initial clearance between rotor and plate. Therefore, it is required to design the plate for controlling the deformation.
