This study was conducted to investigate experimentally the effect of track tension on the tractive performance of rice combine. The experiment was carried out at the two in-door soil bins with soil types of loam and sandy loam. The initial track tension was varied by three different values of 0.71, 1.75 and 3.84kN at three different forward velocity settings of 0.17, 0.32 and 0.45m/s, respectively. The data acquisition system was designed and used for the measurement of pull, driving axle torque and its velocity under the test conditions to calculate the tractive efficiency. Results of the study were summarized as follows : 1) The effect of the initial track tension on the tractive efficiency was found being significantly dependent on soil types but not on forward velocities. Therefore, the benifit of adjusting the initial track tension may be obtained when the types of soils on which combines operate are changed. 2) In loam, tractive efficiency decreased with increase in track tension. However, it increased in sandy loam until it reached to a peak value and then decreased with increase in track tension. 3) The maximum tractive efficiency of the tested combine was obtained with an initial track tension of about 1.75kN on sandy loam, and below that on loam at about 5% slippage without being noticeably influenced by the forward velocity.

Test of Caterpillar Challenger 65 tractor which has rubber tracks, and articulated four wheel drive tractor with dual wheels and a mechanical front wheel drive tractor were conducted on an unplowed and plouwed wheat stubble field. The following parameters were analyzed : tractive efficiency (ηv), net tractive coefficient ($\phi$n), slip ($\sigma$) , drawbar pull(Fv), drawbar power (Pv) and forward velocity(v). The maximum net tractive coefficient was established at the tractive efficiency of 0.60 on the unplowed wheat stubble field : for the Challenger 65 tractor 0.855 ; 4WD 0.624 and MFWD 0.534 and on the plowed wheat stubble field with the tractive efficiency of 0.40 for the Challenger 65 tractor 0.82 : 4WD 0.57 and for tractor MFWD 0.48.

A computer program was developed for the simulation of mobility and tractive performance of tracked off-road vehicles. Input parameters for the simulation involve those characterizing track and power drive line of a vehicle and soil conditions upon which the vehicle operates. The simulation predicts tractive performance in terms of soil thrust and motion resistance of track device and mobility performance in terms of the maximum speed, time-distance and time-speed relation that a vehicle can obtain under the given soil conditions. It also determines whether or not the vehicle can move in those conditions. An example of performing simulation was presented and its results showed that the performance prediction was reasonably in a good agreement with the published data.

In order to investigate the effects of design parameters of lug on the tractive performance of pneumatic tires, soil bin tests were conducted for the test tires having different values of design parameters. The experimental results were presented in terms of lug space, lug angle and lug shape versus the tractive efficiency and rolling resistance of the test tires.

이 연구는 과수원에 높은 통관 작업 기계에 적용되는 전동식 트럭 주행 시스템을 적용한 최적 설계가 제안되어 있습니다. 견인 성능과 언덕 등반 능력은 예측 및 기계 작업이 높은 틈새를 이용하여 과수원의 토양 특성을 고려하여 최적의 모터 주행 시스템을 평가 하였다. 견인 성능을 위한 설계 기준은 운동 저항을 뺀 견인력으로부터 산출 된 견인능력에 기초를 두었다. 등판 능력은 20%의 경사면을 3km/h의 속도로 수행되도록 하는 설계기준을 가지고 있다. 견인 및 등판 능력의 평가 결과에 따라 두 개의 DV48V, 4500rpm, 16kW AC 모터는 좌우 양쪽에서 독립적인 괘도를 갖는 것으로 적용된다. 각각의 모터는 50:1 감속기어 비율을 통하여 트랙형 주행 시스템의 구동 스프로켓에 동력을 전달하도록 설계되었다. 본 연구의 전동 트랙형 주행 시스템은 충분한 견인성능 및 등판 능력을 충분히 입증하고 20%의 경사지면을 갖는 과수원의 토양에서의 등반저항보다 12.5%가 더 높은 396kgf의 견인능력을 가지고 있는 것으로 밝혀졌습니다.

This study was conducted to develop the mathematical model and the computer simulation program(TPPMWV) for predicting the tractive performance of off-road wheeled vehicles operated on various soil conditions. The model takes into account main design parameters of a wheeled vehicle, including the radius and width of front and rear tires, the weight of vehicle, wheelbase and driving type(4WD, 2WD). Soil characteristics, such as the peressure-sinkage and shearing characteristics and the response to repetitive loading, are also taken into consideration. The effectiveness of the developed model was verified by comparing the predicted drawbar pulls using TPPMWV with measured ones obtained by field tests for two different driving types of wheeled vehicle. As a results, the drawbar pulls predicted by the TPPMWV were well matched to the measured ones within the absolute errors of 5.25%(4WD) AND 9.42%(2WD)for two different driving types, respectively.

In this paper, mathematical model was developed for predicting the tractive performance of off-road wheeled vehicles operated on soft terrains. Based on the mathematical model, a computer simulation program(TPPMWV) was developed. The model takes into account main design parameters of wheeled vehicle, including radius and width of front and rear tire, weight of vehicle, wheelbase and driving type(4WD, 2WD). Soil characteristics, such as the peressure-sinkage and shearing characteristics and the response to repetitive loading and slip-sinkage effect, are also taken into consideration. The effectiveness of the developed model was verified by comparing the predicted drawbar pulls using TPPMWV with measured ones obtained by field tests for two different driving types of wheeled vehicle. As a results, the drawbar pulls predicted by the TPPMWV were well matched to the measured ones within the absolute errors of 3.916%(4WD) and 13.31%(2WD) for two different driving types, respectively.

해저궤도차량은 큰 중량을 가지고 포화된 해저지반 위를 구동하며 작업을 수행한다. 해저궤도차량 구동 시 궤도-지반 접지면에서는 지반의 전단 및 침하현상이 발생되며, 이로 인해 각각 지반추력 및 지반저항력이 발현되어 구동성능을 제한한다. 즉, 일반적인 포장도로 주행차량과 달리, 해저궤도차량의 구동성능은 엔진성능뿐 아니라 주행하는 지반과 차량의 상호작용에 의해 결정되는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 궤도-지반 상호작용 이론을 바탕으로 해저궤도차량에 적용될 수 있는 다양한 지반특성(흙 종류, 상대밀도 혹은 경질도) 및 차량특성(차량중량 및 궤도시스템 제원)에 따른 구동성능 평가를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 해저궤도차량이 모래지반 및 실트질 모래지반에서 운용되는 경우에는 비교적 수월하게 구동성능을 확보할 수 있지만, 점성토 지반에서는 구동성능 확보에 어려움이 있을 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 점성토 지반에서 운용되는 해저궤도차량의 중량이 큰 경우 전반적인 구동성능 및 등판능력이 매우 떨어지는 것으로 평가되어, 구동성능을 확보하기 위한 추가적인 보안방안이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The off-road tractive performance of tracked vehicles can be evaluated in terms of soil thrust, motion resistance and drawbar pull. The ability to predict accurately ground pressure distribution under track is of importance since the vehicle sinkage and motion resistance are closely related to it. While the formulation of the method for predicting ground pressure distribution follows closely in spirit the ideas outlined for the terrain with linear pressure- sinkage relation case by Garber and Wong, the analysis of various terrain stiffness is magnified by numerical implementation procedure. The effects of soil parameters on tractive forces can be introduced through the terrain-track interaction such as pressure-sinkage and shearing characteristics. It is illustrated by determining the drawber pull-slip relation and corresponding ground pressure distribution for the terrains typically chosen and by comparing the results with the conventional ones based on normal ground pressure. The factorial experiment method is finally adopted for checking the sensitivity of the values of soil parameters on the drawbar pull.
