SELECTED ASPECTS OF POWER DISTRIBUTION FOR 4WD VEHICLE MOVING ON CURVE
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2011, Vol 159, Issue 1
Abstract
Observation of the vehicles indicates that during acceleration on the curve the rear external wheel is the most loaded with vertical power. At the same time the front internal wheel is underloaded and even loses contact with the surface. The traditional drive line is not able to transfer the surplus power from the front internal wheel to the rear external one. In the new patented solution, wheels are connected diagonally to improve vehicle performance and safety. Initial investigations of the new drive line performed at first theoretically, then in the NX Motion Simulation environment, and finally by physical tests, confirmed the potential of the new solution. In addition, the article presents potential military applications of the diagonal drive line for the Power-pack configuration.
