  • In order to study the effect of braking condition on the stability of tractor-semitrailer running on curve, a whole vehicle model of tractor-semitrailer with 21 degrees of freedom was established by using dynamics theory and virtual prototype simulation software ADAMS. The change relations of folding angle, lateral acceleration, yaw angle velocity, vehicle speed, wheel speed and tire side-slip angle with time were analyzed when tractor-semitrailer ran on curve under the ultimate condition. Through the whole vehicle test of stable steering and step, the simulation accuracy of the model was verified. Simulation result shows that when tractor-semitrailer brakes after 3 s of turning, in 3 s, tractor's lateral acceleration becomes 0, yaw angle velocity reaches extreme value 33 rad·s-1, then decreases rapidly.While trailer's lateral acceleration reaches extreme value 4 m·s-2, and yaw angle velocity gradually decreases to 0. In the braking process on curve, tractor's rear axle first locks and slips, thus the folding phenomenon of tractor-semitrailer probably happens, which leads to the reduction of braking stability.
