Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise reference that provides an overview of the design of high speed off-road vehicles High Speed Off-Road Vehicles is an excellent, in-depth review of vehicle performance in off-road conditions with a focus on key elements of the running gear systems of vehicles. In particular, elements such as suspension systems, wheels, tyres, and tracks are addressed in-depth. It is a well-written text that provides a pragmatic discussion of off-road vehicles from both a historical and analytical perspective. Some of the unique topics addressed in this book include link and flexible tracks, ride performance of tracked vehicles, and active and semi-active suspension systems for both armoured and unarmoured vehicles. The book provides spreadsheet-based analytic approaches to model these topic areas giving insight into steering, handling, and overall performance of both tracked and wheeled systems. The author further extends these analyses to soft soil scenarios and thoroughly addresses rollover situations. The text also provides some insight into more advanced articulated systems. High Speed Off-Road Vehicles: Suspensions, Tracks, Wheels and Dynamics provides valuable coverage of: Tracked and wheeled vehicles Suspension component design and characteristics, vehicle ride performance, link track component design and characteristics, flexible track, and testing of active suspension test vehicles General vehicle configurations for combat and logistic vehicles, suspension performance modelling and measurement, steering performance, and the effects of limited slip differentials on the soft soil traction and steering behavior of vehicles Written from a very practical perspective, and based on the author’s extensive experience, High Speed Off-Road Vehicles provides an excellent introduction to off-road vehicles and will be a helpful reference text for those practicing design and analysis of such systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to leave behind our unwieldy, gas-guzzling, carbon dioxide–emitting vehicles for cars that are green, smart, connected, and fun. This book provides a long-overdue vision for a new automobile era. The cars we drive today follow the same underlying design principles as the Model Ts of a hundred years ago and the tail-finned sedans of fifty years ago. In the twenty-first century, cars are still made for twentieth-century purposes. They are inefficient for providing personal mobility within cities—where most of the world's people now live. In this pathbreaking book, William Mitchell and two industry experts reimagine the automobile, describing vehicles of the near future that are green, smart, connected, and fun to drive. They roll out four big ideas that will make this both feasible and timely. The fundamental reinvention of the automobile won't be easy, but it is an urgent necessity—to make urban mobility more convenient and sustainable, to make cities more livable, and to help bring the automobile industry out of crisis.

Download or read book Relative Off Road Mobility Performance of Six Wheeled and Four Tracked Vehicles in Selected Terrain written by Jack K. Stoll and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station analytical model for predicting off-road ground mobility was used to evaluate the performance of six wheeled vehicles (M656, M54A2, M520, M37B1, M561, and M706) and four tracked vehicles (M548, M113A1, M116, and M571) over a selected traverse in Thailand. Maps were prepared to exhibit the terrain in terms of surface composition (soil consistency), surface geometry (slopes, rice-field dikes, etc.), vegetation, and hydrologic geometry (rivers and streams). The performance of each vehicle was evaluated in terms of average speed over the traverse and the center line, average fuel consumed over the traverse, and center-line cargo delivery rate. The vehicles were run over the traverse under dry-season conditions (60 or 40 rating cone index) and wet-season conditions (60 or 35 rating cone index). Four of the vehicles (M656, M54A2, M520, and M548) were tested also under wet-season conditions of 60 or 40 rating cone index. Wet-season conditions usually reduced vehicle performance. No one vehicle provided optimum mobility for all the terrain conditions encountered on the traverse over which predictions were made. Further, neither wheels nor tracks appeared to consistently give better performance. A recommendation was made that the mission environment for any new vehicle be defined in quantitative terms before the new vehicle is developed.

Download or read book Instrumenting an All Terrain Vehicle for Off Road Mobility Analysis written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With small mobile vehicles, even robots, becoming increasingly important for military operations, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) researchers set out to instrument an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) with mobility sensors to obtain and understand small-vehicle mobility data in all seasons. Extensive mobility research has already been performed at CRREL on the CRREL Instrumented Vehicle (CIV), which collects mobility data with large and expensive vehicle performance sensors. However, a small vehicle such as an ATV is not suited to carry large data collection instruments. In an effort to overcome cost and size limitations while maintaining functionality, an ATV was instrumented with lowcost sensors to collect mobility data comparable to the CIV. At the U.S. Army's Ethan Allen Firing Range, ATV mobility performance tests, such as coast down and drawbar tests, were performed alongside the CIV for comparison, while cross range test runs were performed to demonstrate the system's capabilities. This paper presents one option for researchers looking to instrument a small-vehicle with mobility performance sensors, describes the testing methodology and results, and offers a comparison to the CIV. Low-cost, portable vehicle mobility instrumentation systems would allow for accurate vehicle simulations and mobility awareness that can be used in situ by the warfighter and lead to further applications of all-terrain vehicles in force protection and border patrol scenarios.

Book excerpt: A summary of research and engineering studies conducted on a long-range program of off-road mobility research is presented. These studies, some of which are only partially completed, are directed at providing technical knowledge which is required to match off-road vehicles with military mobility requirements. A hybrid computer model is described which will permit predicting vehicle dynamics performance of simulated vehicles traversing a broad spectrum of off-road situations. A critique of existing soil trafficability theories is made based on a review of the literature which treats the comparison of vehicle performance prediction with experimental results. Analytical and experimental studies of the velocity field and soil fabric in clay soil exposed to dynamic loads are summarized. A general method is discussed for processing mobility related environmental information and for mapping vehicle performance by computer methods. A concept is introduced for testing vehicles in relation to the total environment in order to define the vehicle performance envelope. Also a method is introduced for displaying potential vehicle performance in selected geographic areas and for producing 'testable' specifications for off-road vehicles. Engineering studies of an off-road driving simulator for synthesizing dynamic visual displays and vehicle motion in the laboratory are reviewed. (Author).
