TY - JOUR TI - Computer program for dynamic analysis of special vehicles with high gravity centre AU - Tengler, Szymon AU - Harlecki, Andrzej TI - Computer program for dynamic analysis of special vehicles with high gravity centre AB - The functionality of the authors’ computer program which enables to analyze dynamics of special cars with a high gravity center, in particular, a technical rescue vehicle of fire service is presented in this article. The correctness of the analysis has been confirmed experimentally. The program consists of two essential parts: the calculation module and the animation module designed for three-dimensional visualization. Properly prepared input data in the XML format is processed by the calculation module which can solve the equations of motion including an uneven road surface. The results of this module are processed by the animation module performing a smooth computer animation. For mathematical modeling of road unevenness and presenting three-dimensional animated objects authors used an unconventional combination of the developed program with the Blender graphical environment.
