Abstract

A computer simulation has been used to study the dynamic behaviour of a selected vehicle negotiating various ground forms in the vicinity of the sloping inlet of outlet grate for a culvert. These simulations provided information on dynamic tyre forces, accelerations, and translational as well as rotational motions of the automobile. For some ground forms, roll-over occurred as illustrated by computer graphic displays. (See also B 210 for preprint of this paper).
