Abstract

A two dimensional, two degree of freedom vehicle model is studied. A randomly profiled road is assumed to impart hyperbolic distributed stationary vertical random displacements to the front and the rear wheel. A computer program has been developed to evaluate transfer function matrices. The performance characteristic of the vehicle based on the Power Spectral Density of the vertical acceleration as well as the rattle space, for different values of damping factors, are studied.
