Maintaining track tension in tracked vehicles minimizes the excessive load on the tracks and prevents the peal-off of tracks from the road-wheel, and adequately guarantees the stable and improved driving of the tracked vehicles. However, the track tension cannot be easily measured due to the limitation in the sensor technology, harsh environment, etc. In this study, the track tension is estimated in real-time from the measurable signals of tracked vehicles and controlled based on a fuzzy logic controller. The proposed control system is implemented on tracked vehicles and its performance is evaluated under various driving conditions.

In case of high speed and high mobility multibody tracked vehicle, it is hard to develop the realtime simulation model for track tension control because of the hundreds of highly nonlinear equations. In order to design more trustworthy realtime simulator for track tension control, it is necessary to use off-line tracked vehicle model. In this study, a step by step procedure is presented to develop realtime simulation model based on off-line tracked vehicle model. Simulation results show that modified off-line multibody tracked vehicle model can be used for real time simulation to control the track tension.

DTTS(Dynamic Track Tensioning System) system requires robust control performance for the various maneuvering tasks. However, it is very difficult to tune the controller gains in experiments. In this paper, the hydraulic unit is modeled and constructed into the DTTS control module in Matlab/Simulink The control module is interfaced to the vehicle dynamics module so that the control performance of the DTTS system can be evaluated in simulations. The dynamics data and control input data are exchanged between two modules at each control time-step. The gains in the fuzzy-logic controller are varied and the control performance is evaluated in simulations. The proposed simulation tool can be very useful for the gain tuning of track tension controller in bucked vehicles

본 연구는 탄약운반장갑차의 동력장치 부품들이 최대속도에 미치는 영향성 확인을 목표로 하고 있다. 탄운차는 습지나 수렁 등이 많은 국내 상황을 고려하여 궤도장비로 개발되었다. 궤도장비의 기동성은 전투 중 생존 가능성을 높여 주는 중요한 성능이다. 장비의 최대속도에 영향을 끼치는 요소를 먼저 분석하였고, 그 중 동력전달장치 부품들의 변화에 따른 영향성을 확인하였다. 엔진과 변속기의 변화에 따른 최대속도는 각각 3%, 1.7%의 차이를 나타냈다. 간단히 유압유 주입/배출을 통하여 조절 할 수 있는 궤도장력의 변화에 따른 최대속도 영향성을 확인하였다. 궤도장력 중간을 기준으로 장력이 강한 경우 4.6% 낮아졌고, 장력이 약한 경우 1.5% 상승하는 결과를 얻었다. 궤도장력을 6구간으로 나누어 최대 속도를 확인한 결과 궤도장력이 중간 이하로 유지되는 경우의 최대속도가 가장 큰 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 장비 양측 궤도장력을 다르게 조절하여 실험한 결과 장비의 최대속도는 장력이 큰 부분의 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 주행 전용 시험장에서 장력을 조정하여 최대속도 실험을 진행하였다. 실험결과 장력이 강한 경우 규격요구보다 16.7% 높은 속도를 내었고, 장력이 약한 경우 28.3% 높은 속도를 나타냈다. 궤도장력의 변화에 따라 최대속도의 영향성을 확인하였고, 고액의 부품을 교체하는 것 보다 큰 효과를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 텐션클램프의 초기 체결력이 급곡선 궤도용 탄성레일체결장치의 성능에 미치는 영향을 검토함에 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 탄성레일체결장치의 구성품 중 텐션클램프의 거동을 평가하기 위해 초기 체결력의 변화와 횡압의 증가를 고려한 실내시험, 현장측정 및 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석 및 실험결과, 초기 체결력의 감소는 텐션클램프에 도입되는 초기 압축응력의 감소로 나타났다. 또한 텐션클램프의 압축응력은 급곡선 궤도에서 발생하는 횡압의 작용에 따라 인장응력으로 변환되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 초기 체결력에 의해 텐션클램프에 도입된 압축응력은 외력에 따른 발생 인장응력 저감을 위한 보강력으로 작용하는 것으로 분석되어, 탄성레일체결장치의 장기 내구성능 확보와 안정적인 거동을 유지하기 위해서는 적정 초기 체결력의 확보가 중요한 것으로 나타났다.

A high-speed railway (HSR) bridge may undergo long-term deformation due to the degradation of material stiffness, or foundation settlement during its service cycle. In this study, an analytical model is set up to evaluate the influence of this long-term vertical bridge deformation on the track geometry. By analyzing the structural characteristics of the HSR track-bridge system, the energy variational principle is applied to build the energy functionals for major components of the track-bridge system. By further taking into account the interlayer's force balancing requirements, the mapping relationship between the deformation of the track and the one of the bridge is established. In order to consider the different behaviors of the interlayers in compression and tension, an iterative method is introduced to update the mapping relationship. As for the validation of the proposed mapping model, a finite element model is created to compare the numerical results with the analytical results, which show a good agreement. Thereafter, the effects of the interlayer's different properties of tension and compression on the mapping deformations are further evaluated and discussed.

In this study, modeling and analysis procedure for the dynamic analysis of a high mobility tracked vehicle system were studied. The vehicle model used in this investigation is assumed to be consist of two kinematically decoupled subsystems. The chassis subsystem consists of chassis frame, sprocket, support rollers, road wheels, idler wheel, road wheel arms and idle wheel arm, while the track subsystem is represented as a closed kinematic chain consisting of track links and end connectors interconnected by revolute joints with bushing. Nonlinear contact force module describing the interaction between track link, and sprocket, idler wheel, road wheel, support roller, ground was used. The effects of road wheel arms and idler wheel arm due to tension adjuster are also considered.

Since the track pin is subjected to large transverse track tension from the track link, conventional track pins for high mobility vehicles are usually made of high strength steel, which increases the weight of tracked vehicles due to the high density of steel. In this paper, several composite materials were employed for track pin design to reduce weight of track pin as well as to enhance the fatigue life of rubber bushings. Especially the effects of shear stiffness of the composites on the life of rubber bushing were investigated.

A mathematical model was developed for estimating the mechanical interrelation between characteristics of soil and main design factors of a tracked vehicle, and predicting the tractive performance of the tracked vehicle. Based on the mathematical model, a computer simulation program (TPPMTV) was developed in the study. The model considered the continuous change in tension for the whole track of a tracked vehicle, the analysis of shape and tension of the track segment between sprocket and first roadwheel, and the side thrust on both sides of grouser by the active earth pressure theory in predicting the tractive performance of a tracked vehicle. Also, the model contained not only sinkage depth of the track but the pressure distribution under the track in analyzing the side thrust. The effectiveness of the developed model was verified by performing the draw bar pull tests with a tracked vehicle reconstructed for test in loam soil with moisture content of 18.92％. The predicted drawbar pulls by the model were well matched to the measured ones. Such results implied that the model developed in the study could estimate the drawbar pulls well at various soil conditions, and would be very useful as a simulation tool for designing a tracked vehicle and predicting its tractive performance.
