The mechanical system dynamics software,ADAMS,is used to establish multi-body dynamics system model for a truck front suspension and steering system. Through the simulation test of wheel travel, front wheel alignment parameters changing along with the wheel travel was obtained.

Abstract Four formulations of nonholonomic mechanical system dynamics, with both holonomic and differential constraints, are presented and shown to be well posed; i.e., solutions exist, are unique, and depend continuously on problem data. They are (1) the d'Alembert variational formulation, (2) a broadly applicable manifold theoretic extension of Maggi's equations that is a system of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODE), (3) Lagrange multiplier-based index 3 differential-algebraic equations (index 3 DAE), and (4) Lagrange multiplier-based index 0 differential-algebraic equations (index 0 DAE). The ODE formulation is shown to be well posed, as a direct consequence of the theory of ODE. The variational formulation is shown to be equivalent to the ODE formulation, hence also well posed. Finally, the index 3 DAE and index 0 DAE formulations are shown to be equivalent to the variational and ODE formulations, hence also well posed. These results fill a void in the literature and provide a theoretical foundation for nonholonomic mechanical system dynamics that is comparable to the theory of ODE.
