Performance Analysis of the Tracked Traveling Mechanism in Deep Sea Bed Under Different Operating Conditions based on Recurdyn by Wang Jinhong, Lin Yong, Li Hailin

“…Based on Recurdyn,the simplified dynamics model of the traveling mechanism in deep sea bed is built,imposing constraints,contacts,forces and motion control functions,and the terrain and environmental conditions in different types when run under the sea bed are analyzed.The results show that,the engaging force between solid wheel and track pin changes with the positive pressure changes,the positive pressure occurs the maximum and corresponding to the maximum of engaging force,then the positive pressure and engagement force is cyclical change along with the caterpillar. Meanwhile,a greater ripple of the speed,running gear,acceleration,driving torque and so on is caused by the tracked speed dynamic load. …”
