Abstract
This paper describes an analytical study of the lateral dynamics of multi-articulated vehicles with multiple axles. A linear planar model of vehicle dynamics is adopted for multiple-axle vehicle combinations with an optional number of trailers. Two tractor and double-trailer combinations are examined for their directional stability and response. Non-oscillatory stability and steering sensitivity in steady-state turning and lane changing are analysed using a stability factor of multiple-axle vehicle combinations. Off-tracking in the steady-state turning of multiple-axle vehicle combinations is also analysed. Numerical calculations for oscillatory stability, steering sensitivity, and off-tracking are presented for multiple-axle vehicle combinations.
