Leyland experimental 2-axle vehicle (R1) - lateral stability study comparing conventional and SAB resilient wheels type 308 (IM-DOS-090)

Last updated on 07 June 2013 2:47
The lateral stability of LEV was investigated theoretically with standard wheeleets and resilient wheels. Resilient wheels (SAB TYPE 308) will reduce the critical speed of LEV by approximately 6 to 7 percent, which arises because of the wheel torsional stiffness affects. However, the reduction in lateral stability is not too...
