ANALYSIS ON RUNNING STABILITY OF THE 2-CAR ARTICULATED VEHICLE WITH SUSPENSION AND STEERING MALFUNCTIONS

초록

This paper was aimed to analyze and evaluate running stability of the bi-modal tram (2-car articulated vehicle) with malfunctions in the 1st suspension (tire), 2nd suspension (air spring), and steering actuators. In addition, the dynamic model and algorithm to simulate the vehicle malfunctions were proposed by using the multi-body dynamics analyzing software. On the basis of the analyzed results, design modification to the vehicle malfunctions in the bimodal tram was suggested and discussed in this paper.
