Dynamic simulation of acceleration for a foursprocket electric tracked vehicle under different pavement conditions

As the feasibility of the kinetic model for four-sprocket electric tracked vehicle was verified in previous researches, the acceleration of such electric tracked vehicle can be investigated. In this paper, the acceleration under different pavement conditions is discussed theoretically. With an entity simulation model of a certain drive torque which is built and constructed by the multi-body dynamics software RecurDyn, the acceleration simulation results under two typical pavement conditions are acquired and analyzed.
