A Kinetic Model Used to Predict the Rollover of High Temperature Ladle Carrier Vehicles

By the body-fixed coordinate, Coriolis' theorem and Cardan angles, a kinetic model of a high-temperature ladle carrier vehicle, which has 30 degree-of –freedoms, is built. The model could be used to predict the rollover of the vehicle. The inputs of the model are steer angle and rotational velocity of every tire, and the outputs are the motions of the vehicle’s body and the forces on the body and the tires. The model is easily to be applied on other vehicles, which have different numbers of shafts.
