Abstract
The tilting vehicle of a pendulum type can be regarded as a car with a suspension system which puts constraints on the relative motion of the lateral displacement and the inclination angle of the body for tilting the body on curved track. In this paper a tilting vehicle with inclined strut suspensions is investigated as an example of the vehicle of this type and the characteristics of its vibration are analyzed. We have derived a vibration model that can be used for digital computer analysis and calculated principal modes, frequency responses, and transient responses to a curved track. These calculations have been carried out on three cases by changing the parameters of the tilting link. The first and the second cases correspond to tilting vehicles with different heights of the tilting axis. The third case corresponds to a non-tilting vehicle. Discussions are made on the effects of the tilting suspension on the characteristics of the vibration by comparing these numerical results in each case.
