Automotive Test Rig Final Design Report. Volume 2. Control System.
Abstract
This report documents the design and fabrication of a tracked automotive test rig vehicle developed to investigate the feasibility of advanced automotive components for potential use in future high water speed amphibians. Advanced components included in the design are a hydrostatic drive train for land and water propulsion, a hydropneumatic suspension system, two speed final drives and micro computer control systems. Volume I includes detailed descriptions of the various test bed major systems and components along with engineering analyses to support their design development . Characteristics of major test bed elements are defines along the overall test bed characteristics. Estimated land and water performance and weight and mass properties are also provided for the test bed. Volume II provides the details of the hydrostatic drive train control system. Tracked vehicle design, Tracked amphibians, Test bed, Hydrostatic drive system, Hydropneumatic suspension system, Waterjets, Micro-computer control, Hydraulics land mobility, Water mobility. (jes)
