Имитационная модель моторно-трансмиссионной установки быстроходной гусеничной машины со ступенчатой трансмиссией c бортовыми коробками передач
One of the basic requirements of the tracked vehicle 3D motion simulation models to be used for multiple simulations or to be embeded into driving simulators and into controllers of the on-board control systems is high computational efficiency. The article presents a simulation model of a high-speed tracked vehicle powertrain with step track gear boxes to be inserted as a subsystem into a highly computationally efficient model of the tracked vehicle curvilinear motion. In order to increase the model efficiency, the dynamics of the transmission gears is neglected, their internal kinematics being described by their gear ratios. External kinematics of the transmission is provided by the algorithms of the drive wheel speed regulators. The engine torque is defined as a function of the engine crankshaft rotational speed. The engine crankshaft is coupled to the transmission by means of the dry friction model simulating the operation of the friction gear-shift mechanisms of the track gear boxes. The simulation model of the powertrain has been implemented in Matlab\Simulink and built as a DLL module into a three-dimensional multi-body model of the tracked vehicle chassis dynamics developed by the author in the UM MBS-software. The resulting integrated model was used for the simulation of the tracked vehicle steering in different gears and calculation of theoretical minimum turning radii. The radii obtained by simulation are in good agreement with the radii calculated from the gear ratios of the powertrain under research.
