Abstract

The rolling motions of vehicles with pneumatic tyres are examined. From a simplified analysis two sources of instability are identified- one related to center of gravity position and the other to tyre and suspension characteristics. When a specimen vehicle is considered, it is shown that current semi-trailer design can display instability from either source.
