Symulacja dynamiki ruchu na mobilnym modelu samochodu

W pracy przedstawiono opis zdalnie sterowanego modelu samochodu ciężarowego, który przystosowano do badań dynamiki ruchu. Konstrukcja pojazdu odzwierciedla wszystkie ważniejsze zespoły układu przeniesienia napędu, zawieszeń i układu kierowniczego. Dzięki odpowiedniej budowie można ustalać położenie środka masy. Model wyposażono w czujniki przyspieszeń x-y, których wskazania są przesyłane telemetrycznie do przenośnego komputera. W publikacji przedstawiono wyniki badań gwałtownego skrętu na płaszczyźnie i jazdy po okręgu na płaskiej nawierzchni o stałym nachyleniu.

A remote controlled model of a car is described in the paper. The model can be used to preliminary simulating investigations of the car movement. The vehicle model simulates all the most important components of the transmission, suspension and steering system. Owing to a suitable structure it is possible to change the position of the vehicle mass center. The model is equipped with the indicator of the danger of overturning and the sensors of the longitudinal and transverse accelerations, whose read-outs are transmitted telemetrically to a portable computer. It was fixed that the indicator begins its function when the established margin of accelerations is crossed. The modulation of acoustic and optical indicator signals increases with approaching to the limit of overturn of the vehicle. Authors analyze the matter of possible faults of registered movement parameters of the car as can mainly appear from the lack of the similarity of the stiffness of tires, suspensions and the bearing constructions of the vehicle. However, because of very high investigation costs of real car the model investigation can be applied instead of preliminary investigations of real object. Investigations of the indicator of exceeding the limiting lateral accelerations worked out by authors are introduced in the paper. The crossing of acceleration limit can cause the overturning the vehicle. The paper presents test results of sharp turn on the horizontal plane and on circular path drive on a flat surface with constant slope. It was showed in the paper that one can lead functional dynamic investigations on the mobile car model in the range of preliminary investigations.
