description This paper presents the results of the study of the kinematics and dynamics of an elastic steered wheel depending on its state, the kingpin unit design parameters, and the tire characteristics in order to obtain dependencies for calculating the tire steering resistance torque in static state and during movement. It was established that when steering in static state, the locked steered wheel is taken as a complex mechanism, and the tire contact patch is rotated about the kingpin axis–support surface intersection point. When turning the unlocked steered wheel, it was determined that the tire contact patch participates in transport and relative motions. The transport motion center is the projection onto the support surface of the center of rotation of the wheel about the kingpin axis. The relative motion center is within the contact patch and is determined experimentally. For both states of the steered wheel, analytical dependencies were obtained for determining the tire steering resistance torque. The results of the analytical studies were experimentally verified on a bench equipped by components and aggregates of a truck, and included an additional rigid false wheel and a special rim. The false wheel made it possible to experimentally determine the tire contact patch transport motion center, and the special rim—to change the knuckle length in the range of 0.22–0.82 m.
