Abstract
This thesis focuses on analyzing and modeling the behavior of tracked vehicles in various operating conditions using the Adams Car software, with particular emphasis on the Adams Tracked Vehicle (ATV) toolkit. The primary aim is to simulate the realistic dynamics of a tank by modifying key parameters such as vehicle speed, track tensioner force, and terrain conditions. Thanks to them it is possible to obtain important results according to the pressure-sinkage diagram, the contact area, the longitudinal slip, the vertical stiffness, the maximum track deflection and the track motion resistance coefficient. Additionally, the study examines the vehicle's response on both hard (dry and wet asphalt) and soft (dry sand and soft snow) soils, as well as flat and inclined terrains with slopes up to 40%.
The simulations mainly explore the longitudinal dynamics, but also with two chapters dedicated to static (study of the idler, support and sprocket vertical forces), and lateral dynamics (steering maneuver)
