Abstract

The paper is focused on the analysis of tracked vehicle propulsion mechanism during a movement of the vehicle. Propulsion mechanisms of tracked vehicles are highly loaded by dynamics stress. This stress arises by vehicle movement on a terrain and by vibration of tracks. Analysis of this stress is essential in the process of development or optimization (modernization) of the vehicle. Simulating technology was chosen for analysis of selected vehicle, because analysis of propulsion mechanism stress of tracked vehicle is complex process. Utilization of simulating technologies enables extensive analysis of vehicle behaviour including analysis of stress of main parts of the vehicle.
