A study on creation methodology of endurance test conditions for military vehicle using two-objective optimization
摘要
Endurance testing of military vehicles should reflect load conditions similar to those in real operational environments. The Changwon Proving Ground of the Agency for Defense Development conducts endurance tests of military vehicles. However, current test conditions, prescribed by the U.S. military test operations procedure, lack sufficient comparison with the Korean military operational environment. The 2014 TOP revision recommends combining test courses based on the operational mode summary and mission profile of the weapon system. This study proposes a new methodology for creating endurance test conditions for military vehicles, integrating chassis and powertrain systems, using single and two-objective optimization. The main content includes load factors selection, driving loads measurement/analysis, and test courses optimization. Although single-objective optimization with a new methodology shows good performance, the two-objective optimization for chassis and powertrain systems enhances relatively the accuracy and relevance of endurance tests, providing a robust framework for evaluating military vehicle durability.
