Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Mechanical Engineering.
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a CarSim model of an ATV that could predict the cornering characteristic of the vehicle in certain steady-state maneuvers. The objectives of the research include measuring necessary parameters of the vehicle, building the model in CarSim using the measurements, and evaluate the model with field test results of ATVs. A subject ATV is tested on the Vehicle Inertia Measurement Facility (VIMF) and the Suspension Parameter Measurement Device (SPMD) for the mass, inertia, suspension kinematics and compliance of the vehicle. The test procedures, test results and the measured parameters are presented and analyzed. The model of the ATV is built in the CarSim based on the measurements of the vehicle. A simplified suspension model is developed to convert the SPMD compliance measurements into implementable vehicle parameters in CarSim. The procedure to apply vehicle mass, inertia and suspension kinematics data in the CarSim is also shown. iii The model is evaluated with the 50-feet radius circle test. The simulation results of the maneuver are compared with the field test results shown in a recent CPSC report on ATVs. Similar cornering characteristics are found in both results. This thesis is concluded by discussing the benefits of the ATV model in reducing the time and expense on ATV field tests. Future research that could improve the credibility and accuracy of this model is also discussed.
