Abstract:
|
The structure of military track vehicle has to withstand loads applied to the body. The loads
such as weight of turret and moment from firing rockets cause structure damage if structures
strength is not enough. To improve strength of military track vehicle structure, this paper thus
presented design and simulated structural behavior. The conditions investigated were rocket
firing angle at 0 and 45 degree from the front direction, elevation was at 35 degree. Since loads
applied to the structures were compression and moment, buckling was also analyzed. Finite
element analysis was used to analyze stress and buckling of structure, analytical method was
used against finite element method. The results showed the improved structure can reduced
stress occurred. |
