Brake-based traction control systems (TC), which utilize the brake of a spinning wheel of the drive axle, are widely used in passenger cars and light trucks, and recently were applied to all-wheel dri....
We studied the effect of steering dynamics on lateral dynamics for a 1.6 ton 4x4 sport utility vehicle (SUV) on deformable surfaces. The vehicle used for the outdoor tests was equipped with (1) a stee....
This paper introduces the characteristics of the 4 wheel independent driving/4 wheel independent steering (4WID/4WIS) electric vehicle (EV). Models of Subsystems and the vehicle are constructed based ....
The dynamics of an AWD vehicle is determined by the interactions between the vehicle's wheels and the tire contact surface. Understanding and controlling these interactions drives the vehicle mobility....
We describe an off-line estimator for the sideslip angles of an articulated off-road vehicle based on measurements from Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS). The curren....
To develop new markets and to respond to voice of the customers, new specifications for special components are developed from time to time. To meet new specification, the strength and durability of co....
Single row four point contact ball bearings are routinely used as slewing bearings to take heavy loads under a combination of eccentric axial load and radial load for applications such as excavators, ....
Majority of the tractor/semi-trailers are equipped with non-steerable solid trailer axles. In low speed cornering maneuvers, the trailer tires scrub in opposite directions, generating unnecessary tire....
