Simulation and Testing Verification of Tracked Vehicle’s Steering Process Considering Track Skidding

Article Preview

Abstract:

A steering dynamics model considering track skidding is built, which the kinematical and dynamic characteristic about the track forces, turning resistance moment, turning radius, and angular speed are presented. The results show that the turning radius is about 1.5 times and the turning angular speed is 67% in skid-steer situation, which compared to the calculation results based on traditional theory. Experimental results show that steering model is creditable.
