The methods for numerical research of "body-suspension-wheel-soil" system in assessment problems of flotation ability and ride comfort of wheeled vehicles are proposed. The use of the methods allows to take into account the pecu- liarities of interaction between the wheels and the deformable support surface in simulation of wheeled vehicles move-ment on soils with different physical and mechanical properties in prospective areas of operation. Numerical simulation is based on the finite element method in a nonlinear dynamic formulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
