Abstract
This paper details the pilot study conducted to investigate the dynamics of an electric three-wheeled car design. The configuration was investigated using a series of models: the quarter car model to optimize ride dynamics, and the ‘bicycle’ model to assess handling. The models were constructed as bond graphs in 20Sim®, as part of a wider project which included the use of multibody dynamics software and virtual prototyping. These types of models are well-defined in the literature, but have yet to be applied to a three-wheeled car with electric hub motors. Suspension parameters are defined by optimizing the ride dynamics. The handling of the car can be seen to be superior to existing three-wheeled cars, but concerns remained about the rollover stability. This pilot study was used to suggest further work into the design and motivated an ongoing program of further work.
