Ferrying Performance Analysis of a New Type All-Terrain Tracked Water Carrier

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new type all-terrain tracked water carrier is customized for water transportation with complicated terrains such as marsh, lake or dessert etc. The vehicle is designed based on combination of all-terrain tracked chassis and water storage tank. The tracked chassis provides the ferrying possibility, while tank structure and the thickness of heat-insulating layer is the key for successful ferrying. To further research the ferrying characteristics, the floatability and initial stability are analyzed. Then to optimize design of the vehicle, mathematic model of buoyancy center, reserve buoyancy and initial stability is established. At last, the field ferrying test is done. The results show the vehicle can ferry successfully in watered areas with a speed of 5.19km/h when fully loaded.
