Characteristics of torsion bar suspension elasticity in MBTs and the assessment of realized solutions

 

Rade Stevanoviæ

 

On the basis of available data and known equations, basic parameters of suspension systems in a number of main battle tanks with torsion bar suspension are determined. On the basis of the conclusions obtained from the presented graphs and the table, the characteristics of torsion bar suspension elasticity in some main types of tanks are assessed.

 

Key words: main battle tank, suspension, torsion bar, elasticity, work load capacity.
