MATHEMATICAL JUSTIFICATION OF STABILITY OF STEERING BRIDGE OF WHEELED TRACTOR
Irina Gunko – Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Agricultural Engineering and Technical Service, Vinnytsia National Agrarian University (Solnechnaya St., 3, Vinnytsia, 21008, Ukraine, e-mail: maniy@ukr.net, https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5470-7413).
The article deals with the influence of wheel oscillation and the micro-profile of the road surface on the stability of the wheel tractor axle movement. The reasons for the oscillations of the steered wheels, the design diagram of the controlled axle of the tractor and the sequence for determining the oscillation frequency of the axle of the tractor are presented. The reasons for the oscillation of the steered wheels are collisions with bumps, imbalance of the wheels and a double connection with the tractor frame through the steering system and the fastening of the steering axle beam.
The most common functions for describing road irregularities that affect the movement of a tractor are the mathematical expectation and the average value of the ordinates of the micro-profile, the variance or standard deviation of the ordinates, the correlation function characterizing the relationship of various implementations of the micro-profile functions along the length of the road section and spectral density.
Oscillations of the steered wheels have a side effect on the stability of the tractor, which leads to oscillations of the steered axle due to the presence of an additional degree of freedom (turning around the pivot) in comparison with uncontrolled ones. In addition, the steered wheels are interconnected by a steering linkage, which is damped due to clearances.
Oscillations of the wheels can also occur due to the fact that the radial (normal) stiffness of the tires around the circumference is not the same. When such a tire rolls, the wheel begins to oscillate in a vertical plane. Such oscillations, performed due to changes in the parameters of the oscillatory system, are called parametric. Self-oscillations of the steered wheels cause significant dynamic loads on the steering parts, intense tire wear and lead to a loss of tractor controllability and driving stability. One of the main reasons for the occurrence of oscillations of the steered wheels is the presence of a gyroscopic relationship between the angular oscillations of the beam of the steered bridge in the transverse plane and the rotation of the wheels of this bridge relative to the pins.
The article also discusses the physical essence of the processes occurring during self-oscillations of the tractor's controlled wheels.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production. During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured. Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
