Abstract

With some simplification made on skid-steering vehicle, a 2 DOFs single-axle dynamics model is established. On this basis and taking account of wheel load transfer, a dynamics differential equation is given and the effects of vehicle parameters on skid-steering performance are studied. The results show that the instantaneous velocity center of vehicle is in front of its geometric center, and only when steering radius is relatively small, will inner wheels absorb power.
