Computer Simulation of the Effect of Cargo Shifting on Articulated Vehicles Performing Braking and Cornering Maneuvers: Volume 2. Technical Report

摘要

The effects of sloshing liquid cargo on the limit performance of articulated trucks have been investigated. This report covers the validation of the augmented TDVS program, and the development and implementation of a methodology for conducting limit of performance simulations. Results are discussed and summarized in the context of the simulation program and in light of experimental data. Finally, recommendations are presented for vehicle dynamics analysis methodology and for future studies.
