Method for Determination of Design Parameter for Cornering Linkage of Semitrailer Wheels (1). Experimental Research on the Operation of Steering Linkage (2)

Abstract

The report contains discussion of basic mathematical parameters of cornering a semitrailer with steerable wheels as related to the basic kinematic parameter. Major example given is cornering when tractor moves along a circular trajectory and semitrailer is still on the straightaway with subsequent conjugation. The second article discusses specific theoretical and practical kinematics of steering linkage in terms of cornering angles. A measuring device using electro-mechanical time and course sensors is used in test performed on a forklift truck. Measuring device described and test results given in bar graph and cumulative curve.
