Impulse Control Technology for Improving Steering Control Systems of the Tracked Vehicles

Quasi-static model for estimating the forces acting on a two-axle vehicle in the problem of trajectory stabilization by applying controlled differentials

“…Based on the analysis of studies on the issue of controlling the slippage of friction disc packs in heavily loaded transmissions of transport vehicles (see, for example, works [9,10,11,12,13,14]) and the principles of constructing control systems in such cases, it can be argued that the transmission control system must be closed and work under the control of the electronic unit.…”

Transmission and slewing mechanism for highly manoeuvrable small machine transmissions

“…On figure shows a simplified block diagram of the transmission and rotation mechanism, obtained on the basis of an analysis of the schemes of serial and advanced power distribution mechanisms [19,20,21,22] and rotation mechanisms [16,17,18] as part of the transmissions of machines for various purposes. In this scheme, the gearbox R1 is paired with a traction motor and reduces the size and weight of the same.…”

“…Therefore, on high-speed tracked vehicles, two-flow differential rotation mechanisms of various designs are used [10,11,12,13]. A high quality of steering control at a satisfactory (compared with the case of using hydrostatic transmissions) cost was obtained for a two-flow frictional steering mechanism that implements the principle of controlled slipping of control elements [14,15,16]. Electromechanical transmissions [17] and turning mechanisms with a nonlinear characteristic [18] are promising, but these technical solutions are usually complex and expensive for a small platform.…”
