Evaluation of Failure Probability in Series System of Three-Axle Trucks under Strong Crosswind by Yahui Hu, Yingshi Guo, Rui Fu, Qingjin Xu

“…The model is used to obtain the dynamic response of the three-axle truck under strong crosswind conditions as per the time-varying curves of the vertical load of the truck, the time-varying curves of the lateral displacement of the center of mass, and the time-varying curves of the heading angle. An advanced Monte Carlo simulation algorithm based on importance sampling is used to determine the probability of a three-axle truck with FPSS under strong crosswinds; the given acceptable probability of failure (accident) is used to obtain the critical safety speed. …”
