Abstract

This paper presents a novel dynamic simulation of a multi-wheel system using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in Abaqus, a finite element methods software, wherein the focus is on analyzing the rolling behavior of linked three-wheel configurations subjected to vertical loading and a turning moment. The simulation captures the movement of the leading wheel when the moment is applied and its subsequent reverse rolling after the moment is removed. The unique observation highlights the importance of applying parking brakes for the complete stability of the wheels of the rolling vehicles. The study demonstrates a practical approach to simulating dynamic wheel behavior and its potential for future work in multi-wheel system analysis.
