Abstract

As the feasibility of the kinetic model for four-sprocket electric tracked vehicle was verified in previous researches, the acceleration of such electric tracked vehicle can be investigated. In this paper, the acceleration under different pavement conditions is discussed theoretically. With an entity simulation model of a certain drive torque which is built and constructed by the multi-body dynamics software RecurDyn, the acceleration simulation results under two typical pavement conditions are acquired and analyzed.

How Multibody Dynamics Simulation Technology is Used

RecurDyn can provide acceleration results for an electric tracked vehicle running over hard pavement and soft soil. The ground conditions can be easily changed between runs to provide confidence that a design is acceptable under all operating conditions. The Track (HM) toolkit within RecurDyn provides a quick and easy way to accurately model a tracked vehicle.
