Real Possibilities of Numerical Modelling of Vehicle Responses

Abstract

The presented article is devoted to the assessment of real possibilities of numerical modelling of interaction phenomena in the vehicle - road system. It analyses the observed phenomena in the time and frequency domain. Describes the possibilities of numerical modelling of road irregularities as a source of vehicle kinematic excitation. It presents a computational model of the vehicle and a method of numerical solution of its response. Describes the performed experiment and the used measuring technique. Numerically obtained results are evaluated based on the results of the in situ experiment. Makes conclusions for applications in engineering practice.
