Optimal Dimensional Synthesis of Ackermann Steering Mechanisms for Three-Axle, Six-Wheeled Vehicles by Yaw-Hong Kang, Da-Chen Pang, Yi-Ching Zeng

“…However, this comes with a slight increase in the turning radius of the vehicle’s front part compared to when <i>K</i> = 1. The optimized mechanism, designed using the DE-gr method, was validated through kinematic simulations and steering analyses using MSC-ADAMS v2015 software, further confirming the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed design.…”
