The steering system plays a crucial role in the stability of the automobile, especially in the safety of the passengers and pedestrians. The aim of this work is to design a rack and pinion steering system that could equip a passenger car. In this process, many parameters are considered for the correct and effective directional response behavior of the vehicle. 2D models were sketched to validate the kinematic algorithm calculus used to optimize and refine the dimensions of the components of the steering system. After a satisfactory Ackermann percentage was achieved, steering system is designed and analysed in one of the most used CAD and CAE software in automotive, CATIA.

This study constructs a nonlinear dynamic model of articulated vehicles and a model of hydraulic steering system. The equations of state required for nonlinear vehicle dynamics models, stability analysis models, and corresponding eigenvalue analysis are obtained by constructing Newtonian mechanical equilibrium equations. The objective and subjective causes of the snake oscillation and relevant indicators for evaluating snake instability are analysed using several vehicle state parameters. The influencing factors of vehicle stability and specific action mechanism of the corresponding factors are analysed by combining the eigenvalue method with multiple vehicle state parameters. The centre of mass position and hydraulic system have a more substantial influence on the stability of vehicles than the other parameters. Vehicles can be in a complex state of snaking and deviating. Different eigenvalues have varying effects on different forms of instability. The critical velocity of the linear stability analysis model obtained through the eigenvalue method is relatively lower than the critical velocity of the nonlinear model.

To reduce the adverse effect of the functional insufficiency of the steering system on the accuracy of path tracking, a path tracking approach considering safety of the intended functionality is proposed by coordinating automatic steering and differential braking in this paper. The proposed method adopts a hierarchical architecture consisting of a coordinated control layer and an execution control layer. In coordinated control layer, an extension controller considering functional insufficiency of the steering system, tire force characteristics and vehicle driving stability is proposed to determine the weight coefficients of automatic steering and the differential braking, and a model predictive controller is designed to calculate the desired front wheel angle and additional yaw moment. In execution control layer, a H∞ steering angle controller considering external disturbances and parameter uncertainty is designed to track desired front wheel angle, and a braking force distribution module is used to determine the wheel cylinder pressure of the controlled wheels. Both simulation and experiment results show that the proposed method can overcome the functional insufficiency of the steering system and improve the accuracy of path tracking while maintaining the stability of the autonomous vehicle.

The Stability

All vehicles are affected by the type of the road they are moving on it.  Therefore the stability depends mainly on the amount of vibrations and steering system, which in turn depend on two main factors: the first is on the road type, which specifies the amount of vibrations arising from the movement of the wheels above it, and the second on is the type of the used suspension system, and how the parts connect with each other. As well as the damping factors, the tires type, and the used sprungs. In the current study, we will examine the effect of the road roughness on the performance coefficients (speed, displacement, and acceleration) of the joint points by using a BOGE device.

This paper presents a high sensitivity gas pressure sensor with benzyl-dimethylketal (BDK)-doped polymer optical fiber Bragg grating (POFBG), whose sensitivity is up to 8.12 pm/kPa and 12.12 pm/kPa in positive and negative pressure atmosphere, respectively. The high sensitivity can be explained by its porous chemical structure. The stability and response behavior under air pressure atmosphere has also been investigated. The new understanding of the air pressure response principle and sensitivity difference for the presented sensor can be a worthy reference.

The Stability

Electric power steering (EPS) systems are prone to oscillations because of a very small phase angle margin, so a stable controller is required to increase the stability margin. In addition, the EPS system has parameter disturbances in the gain of the torque map under different conditions, which requires a certain degree of robustness in the control design. This paper synthesizes the multidimensional performance requirements considering the stability margin, robustness, and bandwidth of the system to form an H∞ optimization matrix with multidimensional performance output in using the structured H∞ control design. The structured H∞ controller not only retains the characteristics of traditional H∞ controllers with excellent robust performance and high stability margin but also has a lower order, which can be better applied in practice. Based on the performance requirements of the system and practical implementation, the structured H∞ controllers with different orders were designed, and the feasibility of the structured controller was confirmed through comparison and theoretical analysis.

To this end, this paper proposes a large-scale temperature stability control algorithm based on hierarchical control method. Balance equation of large-scale temperature stability control is created for the effective transmission of control data.
