Effect of Hitch Positions on the Performance of Track/Grouser Systems,
Abstract
A number of previous research studies have been performed with the objective of developing a model to predict the performance and efficiency of tracks on ground terrain. For proper modelling, several approaches documented in the literature have been used on: (1) Strip footing idealization of the track contact area with elastic stress distribution in the soil; (2) Energy dissipation within the failed soil mass; and (3) Energy conservation considerations for the track/grouser-soil system.
