Simulation of rectilinear movement of tracked chassis with two movers with diagonal arrangement of drives by Goncharov K.A., Babich O.V., Polyakov P.A., Panchuk M.S.

“…In this article, based on previously developed mathematical models of the motion of tracked chassis with deviations in the values of the factors determining the patterns of machine motion, an analysis of the motion of a tracked chassis with two movers and a diagonal arrangement of the electric drive is performed at a constant identical value of the coefficient of resistance to movement from the ground, with its variable value for each of the movers, and also taking into account the possible deviation of the slip of the drive electric motors within the regulated standard interval. Recommendations are formed for the procedures for designing tracked chassis in the specified version and the structural implementation of the placement of electric motors between the movers inside the tracked chassis.…”
