摘要
This paper presents various modelling strategies to account for track in the ride dynamic simulation of high mobility tracked vehicles negotiating rough off-road terrains. Four analytical track representations of varying complexities are formulated in conjunction with an in-plane ride dynamic model of a typical tracked vehicle. These track models are conceived in view of the tracked vehicle kinematics while ignoring the track belt vibrations. The ride dynamic response of a conventional armoured personnel carrier is evaluated in conjunction with different track models, and validated against field-measured ride data. The relative performances of these track models are thus assessed based on the accuracy of response predictions, and associated computational time.
