Abstract

Based on the above calculation scheme of controlled curvilinear motion of a wheeled vehicle, it was revealed that the steering trapezoid causes some discrepancy between the kinematics of real and correct rotation. It is established that when adjusting the track width of the machine, the kinematic mismatch between the optimal rolling conditions of the wheels increases, and, consequently, the calculated dependences of the parameters of the ideal turn will not give a satisfactory result when analyzing the actual turn. The minimum theoretical turning radius is taken as an estimated indicator of the turnability of a wheeled vehicle. The conclusion of a multifunctional analytical dependence for determining the theoretical minimum turning radius of a wheeled vehicle, the wheels of which are controlled by a steering trapezoid, is presented. The resulting formula includes the longitudinal base of the machine, the pin track, the angles of rotation of the inner and outer steerable wheels. A comparison of the calculation results according to the developed and known formulas is given, which confirmed the complete convergence. It was found that, for example, an increase in the pivot track of the machine by 0.2 m leads to an increase in the theoretical minimum radius of the actual turn by 16.5%, and the distance from the continuation of the rear axle to the instantaneous center of rotation by 45.07...98.02% when the angle of rotation of the inner steering wheel changes from 20° to 40°.
