The Performance of Passive Cab Suspension Systems in Tractor-Semitrailer Vehicles
In this paper, the planar vibrational response of an articulated vehicle with a suspended cab is considered. The statistical performance of innovative linear passive suspensions in response to a randomly profiled road is evaluated. Design guidelines based upon the analytical model derived are provid...
