Power distribution mechanisms with friction control in the transmission of a road train with an active trailer-dissolution

Abstract

The article analyzes the experience of using gear controlled power distribution mechanisms in transport engineering as part of a dynamic stabilization system for high-speed ground vehicles. An overview of the sources on this issue is given. It is shown that the issue of increasing the lateral stability against skidding is relevant in modern conditions and has received a mathematical description mainly in the application to passenger cars. Attention is paid to theoretical studies of Russian scientists involved in the problem of power distribution control in transmissions of transport vehicles and tractors for various purposes. A solution to the problem of full control over the distribution of torques in a transmission containing several drive axles is proposed in the form of a structural diagram of a transmission based on the use of controlled gear power distribution mechanisms. The considered solutions are applicable for monohull vehicles and road trains with an active trailer link. Methods for determining external parameters (gamma of gear ratios) for interaxle and interwheel controlled power distribution mechanisms are proposed in the application to the case of turning a road train with an active trailer-dissolution having an electromechanical transmission.
