The grounding pressure of tracked vehicles is closely related to the overall structure of the vehicles and the ground conditions, and its distribution is more complex and changes in the different center of gravity. So in this paper, under certain assumptions, we derive the mathematical model of the grounding pressure distribution through analysis and research, which can predict the ground pressure distribution of tracked vehicles at any moment. By analyzing the tracked grounding pressure distribution, we put forward the concept of core region of track connecting with the ground, and some meaningful conclusions and formulas for the overall design of tracked vehicles.

Mathematical modeling of planing hulls and determination of their characteristics are the most important subjects in hydrodynamic study of planing vessels. In this paper, a new mathematical model has been developed based on pressure distribution. This model has been provided for two different situations: (1) for a situation in which all forces pass through the center of gravity and (2) for a situation in which forces don not necessarily pass through the center of gravity. Two algorithms have been designed for the governing equations. Computational results have been presented in the form of trim angle, total pressure, hydrodynamic and hydrostatic lift coefficients, spray apex and total resistance which includes frictional, spray and induced resistances. Accuracy of the model has been verified by comparing the numerical findings against the results of Savitsky's method and available experimental data. Good accuracy is displayed. Furthermore, effects of deadrise angle on trim angle of the craft, position of spray apex and resistance have been investigated.

Conclusions. The main roads and ground characteristics  that determine the vehicles. evacuation conditions are the following: the type of road or ground, their possibility depending on the season and precipitation, the presence of ascents and descents, as well as the nature of road (ground) interaction with caterpillars determined by resistance coefficients. movement and traction. The mathematical model of pulling a wheeled and tracked vehicle using cable ropes and dynamic can be presented as a system of equations: the jerk carried out by the machine in time reflected third-order differential equation, assuming that all the energy accumulated by the cable is numerically equal to the work of moving stuck machine, corresponds to the equality of the corresponding integrals; the properties of aramid fibers that affect the strength and performance characteristics of cable ropes can be formally expressed through the elongation of the cable. Analysis of strength and service properties of aramid fibers opens the way to improvement of manufacturing technology of cable ropes and dynamic slings for pulling and towing of wheeled and tracked vehicles.

A simulation of the use of PES-3 liquid in a high-pressure piston-cylinder units was performed, and the parameters of the piston-cylinder units were determined in the article. The equations of the mathematical model describing the pressure change in the gap between the piston and the cylinder are given. As a result of the calculations, the pressure distributions in the gap between the piston and the cylinder are determined at under piston pressures less than 1.6 GPa. The profiles of the gaps between the deformed piston and cylinder at different under piston pressures are calculated. The dependences of the speed of lowering the piston and the effective gap on the under piston pressure at different gaps of the undeformed piston-cylinder unit are obtained. The research results can be used in the design of piston cylinder units operating on PES-3 liquid in the pressure range of 0.01–1.6 GPa.

Measurements were made of the static pressure distribution along the surfaces of the blades of a Francis turbine runner operating near its optimum efficiency and at the extremes of unit speeds where incidences stretched from + 80° to −54°. The paper describes equipment and experimental procedure aimed at accuracy and compares the results against theoretical predictions furnished by computer programmes available at GEC Power Engineering Ltd. The correlation between curves was good in the optimum efficiency region and it was concluded that the mathematical model was a valuable aid to design and development and, subject to some restrictions, could reduce the need for scale models.

In any economy there is a need for the bulky goods transportation which cannot be divided into smaller parts. Such cargoes include building structures, elements of industrial equipment, tracked or wheeled construction and agricultural machinery, heavy armored military vehicles. In any case, tractor-semitrailer should provide fast delivery of goods with minimal fuel consumption. In order to guarantee the goods delivery, tractor-semitrailers must be able to overcome the existing roads broken grade and be capable to tow a semi-trailer in off-road conditions. These properties are especially important for military equipment transportation. The important factor that determines a tractor-semitrailer mobility is its gradeability. The purpose of this work is to improve a tractor-semitrailer mobility with tractor units manufactured at PJSC “AutoKrAZ” by increasing the tractor-semitrailer gradeability. The customer requirements for a new tractor are determined by the maximizing the grade to 18°. The analysis of the characteristics of modern tractor-semitrailers for heavy haulage has shown that the highest rate of this grade is 16.7°. The factors determining the limiting gradeability value were analyzed, based on the tractor-semitrailer with a KrAZ-6510TE tractor and a semi-trailer with a full weight of 80 t. It has been developed a mathematical model to investigate the tractor and semi-trailer axles vertical reactions distribution on the tractor-semitrailer friction performances. The mathematical model has allowed to calculate the gradeability value that the tractor-semitrailer can overcome in case of wheels and road surface friction value and the tractive force magnitude from the engine. The mathematical model adequacy was confirmed by comparing the calculations results with the data of factory tests. The analysis showed that on a dry road the KrAZ-6510TE tractor with a 80 t gross weight semitrailer is capable to climb a gradient of 14,35 ° with its coupling mass full use condition. The engine's maximum torque allows the tractor-semitrailer to overcome a gradient of 10.45° It has been determined the ways to improve the design of the KrAZ-6510TE tractor to increase its gradeability. Keywords: tractor, tractor-semitrailer vehicle mobility, tractor-semitrailer vehicle gradeability.

The article deals with the development of a physical model of a car equipped with measuring, recording and remote control equipment for experimental study of car properties. A detailed description of the design of the physical model and of the electronic modules used is given, links to application libraries and the code of the first part of the program for remote control of the model are given. Atmega microcontroller on the Arduino Uno platform was used to manage the model and register the parameters. When moving the car on the memory card saved such parameters as speed, voltage on the motor, current on the motor, the angle of the steered wheel, acceleration along three coordinate axes are recorded. Use of more powerful microcontrollers will allow to expand the list of the registered parameters of movement of the car. It is possible to measure the forces acting on the elements of the car and other parameters. In the future, it is planned to develop a mathematical model of motion of the car and check its adequacy in conducting experimental studies on maneuverability on the physical model. In addition, it is possible to conduct studies of stability and consumption of electrical energy. The physical model allows to quickly change geometric dimensions and mass parameters. In the study of highway trains, this approach will allow to investigate the various layout schemes of highway trains in the short term. It is possible to make two-axle road trains and saddle towed trains, three-way hitched trains of different layout. The results obtained will allow us to improve not only the mathematical model, but also the experimental physical model, and move on to further study the properties of hybrid road trains with an active trailer link. This approach allows to reduce material and time costs when researching the properties of cars and road trains. Keywords: car, physical model, experiment, road trains, sensor, remote control, maneuverability, stability.
