Kinematical Models and Emulation of Multi-Axle Steering of Off-Highway Vehicles with Multi-Axle

The Kinematical models and Emulation of muti-axle steering of off-highway vehicles had been researched in this paper,that included the kinematical model of dozens of steering linkages, the relationship model of the steering linkages, the minimum steering radius and the wheel alignment, the mathematical model of the steering linkages and the steering system, and the model of the stability of the vehicle. The theory and method of the linkages optimization of multi-axle vehicles had been researched with kinematics theory.

The simulation had been done on the multi-axle steering linkages of a eight-axle(8 X 8) off-highway vehiele, and the optimal parameters of the linkages had been obtained accordin to the simulation result and the optimal theory.
