ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION OF DYNAMICAL VEHICLE-TERRAIN INTERACTION.

Abstract

The reported study is part of a broad research program designed to acquire off-road mobility knowledge; develop analysis, prediction, and decision methodologies; and organize knowledge and methods to facilitate use by military planners, vehicle designers and field personnel concerned with off-road mobility. This particular study was concerned with the development of generalized vehicle-terrain mathematical models of wheeled and tracked vehicles running in hard and soft soil. The computer simulation phase of work was carried to the point of mechanizing 3-degree-of-freedom and 5-degree-of-freedom models in real time on the analog computer. (Author)
