  • Patent number: 11494536
    Abstract: A load calculator includes a coefficient storage, a replacement deriver, and an internal-load deriver. The storage stores a first coefficient, an internal load acting on a target point in a target member when a unit load acts on a concentrated load point in the target member along one of three orthogonal axes, and as a second coefficient, an internal load acting on the target point when a unit moment acts on the concentrated load point around one of the axes. The replacement deriver derives a replacement load and moment by replacing an external load acting on the target member with six force components acting on the concentrated load point. The internal load deriver derives an internal load acting on any target point with the first coefficient, the replacement load, the second coefficient, and the replacement moment when the external load acts on the target member.

  • Patent number: 10471939
    Abstract: A braking control apparatus performs right and left wheel independent control to approach a slip rate of a rear-right wheel and a rear-left wheel to a target slip rate as an average of slip rates of a front-right wheel and a front-left wheel. In a high-speed range, right and left wheel independent control is started when a deceleration is equal to or larger than a start value that is smaller than a start value used in a low-speed range. In right and left wheel independent control started in the high-speed range, when there is a demand to increase braking pressures of both the rear-right wheel and the rear-left wheel, the braking pressure of the rear wheel located on the outside during the occurrence of deflection of the vehicle resulting from braking is increased, and the braking pressure of the rear wheel located on the inside is prohibited from increasing.
