Analysis of Track Mechanics to Improve the Simulation of the Ride Dynamics of Track-Laying Vehicles

摘要

This report was prepared by the Vehicle Dynamics Department of the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Inc., Buffalo, New York, under research contract DA-30-069-ORD-2913 between the Department of the Army and CAL. It summarizes the work performed in an analysis of the influence of track mechanics on the simulation of the ride qualities of track-laying vehicles. This is the final report on that portion of the above contract dealing with track tension effects on vehicle ride behavior.
