Defining the combat tracked vehicles turning radius in the function of dynamic characteristics

 

Milorad Radetiæ

 

One of the main problems emerging in the design of the combat tracked vehicles power trains is the way of matching turning radius with the straight-line motion dynamics. The procedure of determining the minimum turning radius values, depending on the vehicle straight-line motion dynamics, using two methods: the analytical method, as a newly developed one, and the graphic-analytical method, as an existing one, has been developed in this paper.

 

Key words: combat vehicle, tank, armoured personnel carrier, infantry fighting vehicle, turning radius, analytical method, graphic-analytical method
