Abstract

The objective of this investigation is to develop a compliant track link model and apply this model to the multi-body dynamic analysis of high mobility tracked vehicles. Two major difficulties encountered in developing the compliant track models. The first one is that the integration step size must be kept small in order to maintain the numerical stability of the solution. This solution deals with high oscillatory signals resulting from the impulsive contact forces and stiff compliant elements to represent the joints between the track links. The second difficulty is due to the large number of the system equations of motion of the three dimensional multibody tracked vehicle model. This problem was sloved by decoupling the equations of motion of the chassis subsystem and the track subsystems. Recursive methods are used to obtain a minimum set of equations for the chassis subsystem. Several simulation scenarios were tested for the high mobility tracked vehicle including accelaeration, high speed cruising, braking, and turning motion in order to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the methods proposed in this investigation.

본 연구의 목적은 유연성 궤도 모델을 개발하여 고기동성 궤도차량의 다물체 동역학 해석에 응용하는 것이다. 유연성 궤도 모델을 개발하는데는 대체로 두 가지 어려운 문제가 따른다. 첫째로, 해의 안정성을 유지하기 위해 적분구간이 충분히 작아야 한다는 것이다. 즉, 궤도 링크 사이의 유연성 조인트 모델과 충격적인 접촉력에 따른 고진동 입력을 처리해야 한다. 둘째로, 3차원 다물체 궤도차량 모델에 대한 수 많은 운동 방정식을 풀어야 한다는 것이다. 따라서 궤도차량을 샤시와 궤도 부시스템으로 나누고 회귀적인 방법을 사용하여 운동방정식의 수를 최소화하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 방법을 검증하기 위하여 차량의 가속, 고속주행, 제동, 선회 등의 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.
