To investigate the effect of a tire blowout (TBO) on the dynamics of the vehicle
comprehensively, a three-dimensional full-vehicle multibody mathematical model
is developed and integrated with the nonlinear Dugoff’s tire model. In order to
ensure the validity of the developed model, a series of standard maneuvers is
carried out and the resulting response is verified using the high-fidelity MSC
Adams package. Consequently, the in-plane, as well as out-of-plane dynamics of
the vehicle, is extensively examined through a sequence of TBO scenarios with
various blown tires and during both rectilinear and curvilinear motion.
Moreover, the different possible inputs from the driver, the road bank angle,
and the antiroll bar have been accounted for. The results show that the dynamic
behavior of the vehicle is tremendously affected both in-plane and out-of-plane
and its directional stability is degraded. It has been also found that a vehicle
subjected to a TBO accident is prone to a fatal rollover accident due to the
excessive lateral acceleration triggered by the TBO. Furthermore, the reaction
from the driver plays a crucial role in stabilizing/destabilizing the vehicle
following a TBO.
