TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Six-degree-of-freedom three-wheeled-vehicle model validation JO - Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of automobile engineering A1 - Gawade, T. R. A1 - Mukherjee, S. A1 - Mohan, Dinesh SP - 487 EP - 498 VL - 219 IS - 4 N2 - A spatial six-degree-of-freedom mathematical model of a three-wheeled vehicle used in Asian countries is developed. The governing equations are derived and integrated explicitly without linearization to yield a large displacement model that can be used for parametric studies. The model includes suspension model, tyre compliance, lateral force due to cornering stiffness, and rolling resistance at the tyre. The model is validated against vertical accelerations measured when passing over a road bump. The lateral steady state response is validated through a steady state circular test procedure.
