How well a single-track linear model captures the lateral dynamics of long combination vehicles

ABSTRACT

The effect of centre-of-gravity heights on the high-speed performance measures of long combination vehicles including truck with double centre-axle trailers, Nordic, and A-double combination vehicles is investigated. The high fidelity three-dimensional models, used in this research, are validated against physical test data. These models are often accurate in terms of the actual dynamic behaviours of the vehicle. On the other hand, the simple yaw-plane single-track models with linear tires require less number of vehicle parameters. In this paper, it is investigated how accurate the estimations of performance measures are at high forward speeds by such single-track linear (STL) models. The influence of load height is especially studied. The high-speed performance-based standard or PBS measures considered are rearward amplifications of both lateral acceleration and yaw velocity; lateral load transfer; yaw damping and high-speed transient offtracking. The results show that tire relaxation has a large effect and it is rather easy to add to an STL model, so it is assumed to be modelled in STL. With realistically high payload and a required accuracy of PBS measures of approximately 10%, only the accuracy of rearward amplification of yaw velocity calculated by the frequency response is fulfilled by the STL. With low payload, the same statement is valid, but with around 5% in required accuracy. The roll dynamics effects are more important than the tire non-linearities.     

基于砾钢渣+橡胶颗粒的新型填料动剪切模量与阻尼比特性试验

为了解决固体废弃物循环利用问题，提出将废旧轮胎橡胶颗粒掺入废弃钢渣中形成新型土工填料。为了了解该新型填料的动力特性，采用共振柱试验对基于钢渣+橡胶颗粒的新型土工填料的动剪切模量和阻尼比特性开展研究。首先分析围压与橡胶颗粒含量对新型填料动剪切模量和阻尼比的影响，试验结果表明：动剪切模量和阻尼比与剪应变的关系类似传统土类，动剪切模量随着剪应变的增大而减小，阻尼比则随着剪应变的增加而增大，变化曲线趋势基本一致；新型填料的动剪切模量随着钢渣含量的减少和橡胶颗粒含量的增加而逐渐减小，橡胶颗粒含量达到20%时，动剪切模量与剪应变的关系曲线低缓显著，新型填料中橡胶颗粒不宜掺入太多。然后，基于Hardin-drnevich双曲线模型建立新型填料的动力特性理论模型，Hardin-drnevich双曲线模型能够较好地模拟新型填料动剪切模量归一化的数据，并对新型填料参考剪应变随橡胶含量的变化趋势进行了预测。最后，将新型填料的最大动剪切模量与纯钢渣、南京砂和福建标准砂的最大动剪切模量进行比较。分析结果表明：新型填料的橡胶颗粒含量不宜超出15%，这种新型填料动剪切模量适中，阻尼比较大，具有较好的抗震减震能力，能够替代砂土成为一种回填材料。

嘉绍大桥为六塔独柱四索面钢箱梁斜拉桥,其主梁中跨跨中区域设置刚性铰。针对刚性铰结构的特殊要求,设计出一种具有柔性减振并可调节高度的球型钢支座。该支座由楔形板、轴承座、摩擦副、球冠衬板、橡胶减振垫、剪力卡榫、滑动板等组成。通过在刚性铰中的磨耗试验对比,支座摩擦副滑板材料选择了对温度的敏感程度和在相同压应力下摩擦系数均低于改性超高分子量聚乙烯的聚四氟乙烯。采用在下支座板上硫化一层橡胶减振垫的柔性减振措施减小支座承受的应力峰值,避免冲击破坏。通过对3种支座高度调节方案对比,选择了更适于刚性铰结构、操作简单、可无级调高且可以实现调低功能的楔形板调高方案。

A fundamental investigation of tilt control systems for narrow commuter vehicles

One way of addressing traffic congestion is by efficiently utilizing the existing highway infrastructure. Narrow tilting vehicles that need a reduced width lane can be part of the solution if they can be designed to be safe, stable, and easy to operate. In this paper, a control system that stabilizes the tilt mode of such a vehicle without affecting the handling of the vehicle is proposed. This control system is a combination of two different types of control schemes known as steering tilt control (STC) and direct tilt control (DTC) systems. First, different existing variations of both STC and DTC systems are considered and their shortcomings analysed. Modified control schemes are then suggested to overcome the deficiencies. Then a new method of integrating these two control schemes that guarantees smooth switchover between the controllers as a function of vehicle velocity is proposed. The performance of the proposed STC, DTC, and integrated systems is evaluated by carrying out simulations for different operating conditions and some experimental work. The design of a second-generation narrow tilting vehicle on which the developed control system has been implemented is presented.
