Abstract

Track shoes improve the off-road driving ability of tanks. The strength of the track shoe body directly affects the driving ability of tanks, self-propelled artillery, and armored vehicles. In this study, the design technique for track shoe body was investigated. To select the optimal design of track shoe body, three track shoe body models were suggested and compared. Tensile strength was calculated using computer-aided engineering (CAE) analysis. Compressive tests were conducted using the original tank sprocket because sprocket compression is critical to the lifespan of the track shoe body. As a result, one track shoe body design was selected and the process of track shoe body design was described.
