Abstract

Abstract: The steady-state steering characteristics of a vehicle directly affect its work efficiency and safety. The traditionalsteering mechanical modelof the wheeled vehicle does not take into consideration the influence of centrifugal force. Thus, in order to accurately calculate the various steering performance parameters during the actual steering of the vehicle, a mathematical model for steering of a wheeled vehicle is established based on an in-depth study of the wheeled vehicle steering mechanism, in which theinfluencing factors are taken into account, such as centrifugal force and tire slip/slip. Meanwhile, the specific vehicle model is used as an example to solve the numerical model. The results show that the centrifugal force generated during the steering of the vehicle will affect its steering performance. With change of the steering radius and vehicle speed, the slip radius and the amount of steering centerline movement increase or decrease accordingly, which affect the steering stability of the vehicle.
