Analysis of directional stability and control of tractor and semitrailer combination traveling at constant forward speed in steady, flat turn; vehicle is treated as linear dynamic system with 3 degrees of freedom; results of series of sample calculations indicate manner in which steering characteristics and dynamic directional stability are influenced by position of center of gravity kingpin distance, semitrailer length, load condition, yawing moment of inertia, and tire characteristics; radius of turn and forward speed substantially affect directional performance of vehicle combination.
