Rubber-tracked crawler undercarriage multibody dynamic simulation for agriculture operation
摘要
This paper presents a novel multibody dynamic model for agricultural vehicles and applies it to study the effects of dynamic loading on a tracked wheel crawler vehicle used for agricultural purposes. Multibody dynamic simulation (MBS) is used to analyze the vehicle’s behavior under various operating conditions, considering the stiffness between tracks and the arrangement of a rubber track system. The model accounts for soil interaction with the crawler and the load effects on different soil types, resulting in slip ratios up to 9% for dry sand, 8% sandy loam, and 6% clay soil. The rubber crawler vehicle is simulated in different scenarios, including a
