“…The patented improvements made on rubber composition for tank pads which should include at least one surface portion, preferably the portion which contacts the ground is the main major problems. Sridhar et al [18] found that the track pin which is made of steel and surrounded by rubber bush is an important component in the tracks heavy load vehicle which enables the pin to transmit torsional loads. They came out with finite element method to estimate the stresses in the rubber [4].…”

 Abstract: Armoured military vehicle is designed to withstand the stresses impact from bullets, missiles or any explosive shells. It is applied to the vehicle in order to protect the personnel inside from enemy fire and also to protect from any threats other than deliberate attack. However, an issue arises when it comes for track link shoes of the armoured vehicle which already became problems to the designers and users of tracked vehicles. The track link problems usually related to the problems that already existed because of its excessive weight, excessive noise and vibrations, overheating of rubber track elements and road wheels, etc. All of these existing problems could leads to the failure of pin and bushing, chunking of the pads and breaking of the track links itself. Instead of that, today's tracks are much more expensive not only in terms of initial cost but also the replacement cost. Here, this paper reviews some of the failure cases and improvements of the armoured-vehicle itself. It also covers a real study on the failure assessment of the ADNAN (The Malaysian Armoured-Vehicle) Track Shoe.Index Terms: military vehicle, rubber track, pin and bushing, impact stress, vibration.
