Abstract
This paper investigates a low degree-of-freedom mechanical model of the well-known phenomenon wheel shimmy. The applied model considers the elasticity of the tyre and describes the motion of the towed tyre by time delay differential equation, where the memory effect is originated in the contact patch. The stability charts of the towed tyre are presented for different types of tyre models.
