Abstract


The proposition of the dynamics model of the mobile platform with four wheel drive have been considered. The problem of motion of the mobile platform with four wheel drive under the unsteady conditions have been formulated and analysed. The mobile platform prototype have been equipped with four independently driven and steered electric drive units. The theoretical and computational models have been formed for the proposed design concept of the platform.

The relations between friction forces in longitudinal and transverse directions in reference to the active forces have been considered. The analysis of the motion parameters for different configurations of the wheel positions has been included. The formulated initial problem has been numerically solved by using the Runge-Kutta method of the fourth order. The sample simulation results for different configurations of the platform elements during its motion have been included and the conclusions have been formulated.
