Theoretical Justification for Increasing the Stability of Trailer Links of a Tractor-Transport Train
摘要
The paper presents an analysis of studies on the movement of multi-link transport trains, which showed that the last links are considered the most unstable. They are especially unstable on turns, because they are most susceptible to the action of not only active disturbing loads, but also in the presence of random influences from the road due to a small number of links they exhibit extreme instability of movement, this leads to an increase in oscillatory processes, which negatively affects traction and coupling properties, controllability, stability, etc. Therefore, reducing dynamic loads and increasing the efficiency of road trains is an urgent task. It must be said that the conditions under which overturning is possible are also influenced by the stiffness of the suspension, but the need to take this factor into account also leads to the further possibility of increasing the stability of the train as a whole. Consequently, and increasing its basic characteristics by changing the properties of the connections between its links. Thus, during rectilinear movement, the train links are acted upon by forces only in the longitudinal direction, and transverse vibrations arise as a result of the effects of road irregularities and the elastic interaction of the wheels with the road. It is also desirable to get rid of this phenomenon, and there are already a number of proposals and specific measures. It should be noted that in a turn, a whole group of forces act in the transverse direction, the influence of which cannot be neglected. Unfortunately, this does not help to increase the stability of the train during a turn.
