TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Military tracked vehicle model. part i: multibody dynamics formulation JO - International journal of vehicle modelling and testing A1 - Sandu, C A1 - Freeman, JS SP - 48 EP - 67 VL - 1 IS - 1,2,3 N2 - Tracked-vehicles have broad areas of application in agriculture, in the construction industry, in the military, and in mobile robotics and space exploration. This study develops a general model of a tracked vehicle using a trailing-arm suspension system, and an independent flexible-band track model. This suspension system is typical for high-speed military tracked vehicles. The suspension systems and the road wheels are modelled in a modular fashion, and can be modified to account for any number of road wheels.
