Tyre Side-Slip Deformation of Dual-Steering Multi-Axle Vehicles Based on Steady-State Cornering

Abstract

It is well-known that the tyre side-slip deformation is a static indeterminacy problem for the full-vehicle tyres. For the dual-steering multi-axle vehicles on steady-state cornering, it is a closed and dissipative system in a stable dynamic balance state. Therefore, the minimum energy dissipation rate principle is adopted to solve the above indeterminacy problem. Moreover, a new method is proposed to develop a formula for calculating the tyre side-slip angles of the vehicles with dual steering systems (DSS). The validity of the formula is examined using the formula from literature and simulation results of the reference model
