궤도차량 운동의 실시간 시뮬레이션을 위해서 실시간 시간제약 조건을 만족하기 위한 모델링을 시도하였다. 단위 블록 열차로 연결된 전체 차체를 질점으로 가정하여 모델을 단순화함으로써 차량 설계 시 사용되는 궤도 차량 모델보다 실시간성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 당 모델에서 궤도차량의 운동은 트랙의 형상에 구속되는데, 차량의 운동 궤적은 궤도의 형상에 의해 결정된다. 단, 매 단위 시간마다에서 궤도 차량의 위치는 뉴턴의 제2법칙으로 결정된다. 본 모델링은 몇 개의 단위 트랙을 설정하여 이들의 조합으로 전체트랙을 설계할 수 있도록 사용자가 임의로 설계한 전체트랙에서 바로 실시간으로 시뮬레이션할 수 있는 특징을 갖는다. 당 궤도차량 운동 모델은 전동차, 철도, 롤러코스터의 궤도 설계 등에 사용될 수 있으며, 주 용도는 롤러코스터 게임 시뮬레이터에서 동 특성을 비교적 엄밀하게 시뮬레이션 하는데 있다.

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

The idler wheel installed at the front side of the newly developed tracked vehicle didn't meet the durability requirement by showing the crack failure near the jointed region at the wheel during the field test. To find the crack developing mechanism we constructed finite element model for the idler wheel representing the behavior of interface between each suspension units, material properties from the material test data and actual loading conditions. This paper shows a result that maximum von Mises stress near the bolt hole on the outer rim is higher than inner idler coressponding to the actual test result and that result was reversed by adopting the reinforcement outside of the outer rim.

This paper is to investigate the behavior of linear static structure stress, the fatigue and experimental shock fracture far engine base in the Auxiliary Power Unit to resolve its restricted electrical power problem. The shock fracture test was experimentally made under MIL standard criteria. The numerical results by finite element method had a good agreement with those from the shock test. The design data of predicting the fracture at the initial crack and the damage behavior of structure with shock and vibration load in the battle field can be obtained from shock test. In the functional shock test, the crack at the side parts of the engine base was found at peak acceleration of 40g.

This paper is concerned about the dynamic analysis of an underwater test miner, which operates on cohesive soil. The test miner consists of tracked vehicles and a pick-up device. The motion of the pick-up device, relative to the vehicle chassis, is controlled by two pairs of hydraulic cylinders. The test miner is modeled by means of commercial software. A terramechanics model of cohesive soft soil is implemented with the software and applied to a dynamic analysis of the test miner model. The dynamic responses of the test miner are studied with respect to four different types of terrain conditions.

In this paper we propose a system for vehicle detection and tracking which has the ability to learn on-line appearance changes of vehicles being tracked. The proposed system uses feature-based tracking method to estimate rapidly and robustly the motion of the newly detected vehicles between consecutive frames. Simultaneously, the system trains an online vehicle detector for the tracked vehicles. If the tracker fails, it is re-initialized by the detection of the online vehicle detector. An improved vehicle appearance model update rule is presented to increase a tracking performance and a speed of the proposed system. Performance of the proposed system is evaluated on the dataset acquired on various driving environment. In particular, the experimental results proved that the performance of the vehicle tracking is significantly improved under bad conditions such as entering a tunnel and passing rain.

The shifting and steering performance of the tracked vehicle with the hydromechanical continuous variable transmission is analyzed. The simulation results are closely similar to both the vehicle test result, As a result of hydromechanical transmission simulation, power circulation in 2nd and 3rd range is maximum 142% And power flow of mechanical part has the relationship with the effeciency of the vehicle and transmission.

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 computer program was developed to simulate effect of the initial track tension on the tractive performance of tracked vehicles. The performance was evaluated in terms of drawbar pull, motion resistance, tractive coefficient and tractive efficiency. Results of the simulation showed that increase in track tension decreases the sinkage and mean maximum pressure in clay, making the ground pressure distribution more uniform. This tendency became more evident when the number of roadwheels increased. However, such change in MMPs was negligible in firm soils. Motion resistance was also decreased with increase in track tension and the number of roadwheels. Under weak soil conditions, tractive coefficient and efficiency increased generally as the track tension increased for a slip range of 10∼30%. For slippage less than 3∼4%, however, the tractive coefficient decreased with increase in track tension. In general, it was known that increasing track tension improves tractive performance in weak soil conditions. However, high track tension can reduce efficiency due to the increment of internal motion resistance caused by increased track tension.
