The Dynamic Simulation of Contact Force between Wheels and Ground Based on ADAMS

Contact force is a complicated force in practical problem. By using the powerful function of ADAMS in dynamics analysis, we can solve it in a comparatively accurate way. Since a number of parameters are involved in the simulation in ADAMS, the initialization of them has a great influence on the simulation. Aiming at the contact force between wheels of wheel chair and ground, the value of the parameters was calculated and analyzed in this paper. The main research object in this paper is the parameter of the ADAMS/Solver. The result of the dynamics simulation is also used to test whether the parameters are defined properly or not. With this method, we find a better way to define the parameters in ADAMS.
