Abstract

Attention was drawn to the potentially destabilizing influence of drawbar flexibility on the stability of articulated vehicles. Comparisons of the stability predictions from four different articulated vehicle models lead to the conclusions that both roll steer and drawbar flexibility can have significant effects on stability and that these effects are not independent.
