This study investigates a low degree-of-freedom (DoF) mechanical model ofshimmying wheels. The model is studied using bifurcation theory and numericalcontinuation. Self-excited vibrations, that is, stable and unstable periodicmotions of the wheel, are detected with the help of Hopf bifurcationcalculations. These oscillations are then followed over a large parameter rangefor different damping values by means of the software package AUTO97. Forcertain parameter regions, the branches representing large amplitude stable andunstable periodic motions become isolated following an isola birth. Theseregions are extremely dangerous from an engineering view-point if they are notidentified and avoided at the design stage.
