Study on Tractor-Semitrailer Shimmy of High Speed

Abstract

Through the establishment of dynamic model of tractor-semitrailer, calculate its transfer function. In the case of the third and fourth state of balanced coefficient is very small in the original model, the model of the tractor-semitrailer of fourth-order drop for second-order using MATLAB-modred () function and balreal () function, seek of relationship between damping ratio and the speed of tractor-semitrailer, The results show that: the tractor-semitrailer shimmy of high-speed is speed inversely proportional to the damping ratio, the higher the speed, the smaller the damping ratio, and thus more likely to shock and shimmy.
