Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

A model of a caterpillar drive is formulated, by means of RecurDyn software. The interaction of the caterpillar track and the roller is analytically described. The influence of the caterpillar track on the vehicle’s vertical dynamics is simulated.
