In this work, a method for obtaining a set of optimized maximum wheel steering angles for a multiaxle vehicle with multiaxle steering is proposed. During low-speed operations, multiaxle vehicles must have a specified minimum turning radius to traverse crowded areas. The conventional geometrically correct steering configuration may not result in the desired turning radius due to constraints on the maximum steering angles. In such cases, large tire lateral slip angles may be introduced to decrease the turning radius. However, high tire lateral slip angles cause high tire wear. The proposed optimization process aims to achieve the minimum possible turning radius together with minimum tire lateral slip angles. Genetic algorithm is used in the optimization. A case study is conducted with an 8×8 all-wheel steering off-road vehicle. Results show that significant reductions in turning radius and lateral tire slip angles can be achieved.

Steering strategies for multi-axle vehicles Bayar, Kerem; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2008-01-01) The object of this study is to extend 4WS idea to an n-axle vehicle in general and to simulate sonic multi-axle vehicles with the derived strategies in an attempt to determine the best steering strategy. By extending the strategies used for four-wheel steering two-axle vehicles which have been extensively studied in literature, general strategies are established for an n-axle vehicle. Using integrated nonlinear ride and handling models in Matlab & Simulink, it is shown that lateral acceleration and yaw velo...
Autopilot Design for Vehicle Cornering Through Icy Roads Ahiska, Kenan; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2018-03-01) In this paper, vehicle cornering along roads with low friction coefficient is studied, and an autopilot design is proposed to satisfy desired handling performance. A novel hierarchical optimization approach is presented to generate offline solutions for vehicle cornering problem along roads with different friction coefficients and radii of curvature. A vehicle status definition is introduced as a function of vehicle states that contains data to indicate handling performance. At each control instant, vehicle...
Ride comfort improvement by application of tuned mass dampers and lever type vibration isolators Aydan, Göksu; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this study, the efficiency of linear and rotational tuned mass dampers (TMD) and lever type vibration isolators (LVI) in improving ride comfort is investigated based on a vehicle quarter-car model. TMDs reduce vibration levels by absorbing the energy of the system, especially at their natural frequencies. Both types of TMDs are investigated in the first part of this study. Although linear TMDs can be implemented more easily on suspension systems, rotational TMDs show better performance in reducing vibrat...
Prediction of automobile tire cornering force characteristics by finite element modeling and analysis Tönük, Ergin; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2001-05-01) In this study, a detailed finite element model of a radial automobile tire is constructed for the prediction of cornering force characteristics during the design stage. The nonlinear stress-strain relationship of rubber as well as a linear elastic approximation, reinforcement, large displacements, and frictional ground contact are modeled. Validity of various simplifications is checked. The cornering force characteristics obtained by the finite element tire model are verified on the experimental setup const...
Design optimization of variable frequency driven three-phase induction motors Ertan, B; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Simsir, B; Hamarat, S; Cekic, A; Pirgaip, M (1998-01-01) An approach to optimize the design of three-phase induction motors for a wide speed range drive is considered. Two operating points in the speed range are taken into consideration. The problem is handled as a constrained optimization problem. An accurate model for the motor in terms of its dimensions has been developed which predicts the motor performance based on about 60 parameters of motor geometry.
