Terramechanics and Off-Road Vehicle Engineering: Terrain Behaviour and Off-Road Mobility - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Terramechanics and Off-Road Vehicle Engineering: Terrain Behaviour and Off-Road Mobility, Third Edition provides comprehensive coverage of terrain behavior, mechanics of wheel- and track-terrain interaction, and various types of models for cross-country performance, ranging from empirical, through theoretical, to physics-based engineering models. The physics-based models for wheeled and tracked vehicle performance developed under the direction of Prof. J.Y. Wong have been gaining increasingly wider acceptance by industry and governmental agencies. The mathematical models established for vehicle-terrain systems enable the engineering practitioner to evaluate a wide range of options and select an appropriate vehicle configuration for any given mission and environment. This long-anticipated revision presents the fields' significant developments over the past decade, both through updates to existing chapters and the inclusion of new material related to modeling applications in addition to a notable, state-of-the-art excursus on extra-terrestrial rovers.

• Provides a comprehensive introduction to the mechanics of vehicle-terrain interaction
• Demonstrates through examples the application of computer-aided engineering methods to the parametric analysis of off-road vehicle performance
• Covers the most recent advancements in the off-road vehicle industry, encompassing evaluation, design, development, and/or procurement of high-mobility equipment for the recreational, agricultural, construction, mining, military, and aerospace sectors
