The most common method in earthmoving is
to employ a number of excavators, wheel loaders and haulers to
prepare, excavate, load and transport soil.
This method is more beneficial when the
hauling distances and material quantities involved are
relatively large.
The second method is to use more independent equipment such as
scrapers and wheel loaders to
carry out the entire process, and this method is
more appropriate when
the transport distance is short.
Depending on the scope and working condition of each
project, different operation methods and machine types should be
selected to maximize the overall performance of the operation.

1.1.2.1. GROUND VEHICLES- INTRODUCTION
Ground vehicles are those vehicles that are
Unmanned ground vehicle
supported by the ground, in contrast with
aircraft and marine craft, which in operation are
supported by air and water, respectively.
Ground vehicles may be broadly classified as
guided and
non guided.
Guided ground vehicles are constrained to
move along a
fixed path (guide way), such as
railway vehicles and tracked levitated vehicles.

1.1.2.1. GROUND VEHICLES- INTRODUCTION
Non guided ground vehicles can move,
by choice,
in various directions on the ground, such as
road and off-road vehicles.
The mechanics of non guided ground vehicles is the subject we
discuss.
The prime objective of the study of the
mechanics of ground vehicles is to
establish guiding principles for the
rational development,
design, and
selection of
vehicles to meet
various operational requirements.
Willys CJ (later Jeep CJ) (or "Civilian Jeep")
1.1.2.1. GROUND VEHICLES- INTRODUCTION
In general, the
Characteristics of a ground vehicle may be described in terms of its
(a) performance,
(b) handling, and
( c) ride.
(a) Performance characteristics refer to the
ability of the vehicle to accelerate,
to develop drawbar pull,
to overcome obstacles, and
to decelerate.
(b) Handling qualities are concerned with the
response of the vehicle to the
driver's commands and
its ability
to stabilize its motion against
external disturbances.
1.1.2.1. GROUND VEHICLES- INTRODUCTION
( c) Ride characteristics are related to the
vibration of the vehicle excited by
surface irregularities and
its effects on passengers and goods.
The theory of ground vehicles is concerned with the
study of the performance, handling, and ride and their
relationships with the
design of ground vehicles under
various operating conditions.
The behavior of a ground vehicle represents the
results of the interactions among
the driver,
the vehicle, and
the environment, as illustrated in Fig. 1.

An understanding of the behaviour of the human driver,
the characteristics of the vehicle, and the physical and geometric properties of the ground
is, therefore, essential to the design and evaluation of ground vehicle systems.
1.1.2. 3. MECHANICS OF PNEUMATIC TIRES
Aside from aerodynamic and gravitational forces,
all other major forces and moments affecting the
motion of a ground vehicle are applied through the
running gear-ground contact.
An understanding of the basic characteristics of the interaction between
the running gear and the ground is, therefore, essential to the
study of (a) performance characteristics,
(b) handling behavior of ground vehicles, and
( c) ride quality.
The running gear of a ground vehicle is generally required to fulfill the
following functions:
 (i) to support the weight of the vehicle
 (ii) to cushion the vehicle over surface irregularities
 (iii) to provide sufficient traction for driving and braking
 (iv) to provide adequate steering control and direction stability.
1.1.2.3. MECHANICS OF PNEUMATIC TIRES
Pneumatic tires can perform these functions effectively and efficiently;
thus, they are
universally used in road vehicles, and are also
widely used in off-road vehicles.
The study of the mechanics of pneumatic tires therefore is
of fundamental importance to the understanding of the
performance and
characteristics of ground vehicles.
Two basic types of problem in the mechanics of tires are of special
interest to vehicle engineers.
1. One is the mechanics of tires on hard surfaces, which is essential to
the study of the characteristics of road vehicles.
2. The other is the mechanics of tires on
deformable surfaces (unprepared terrain), which is of
prime importance to the study of
off-road vehicle performance.
1.1.2.4. TIRE FORCES AND MOMENTS
To describe the characteristics of a tire and
the forces and moments acting on it,
it is necessary to define an axis system that serves as a reference for
the definition of various parameters.
One of the commonly used axis systems recommended by the
Society of Automotive Engineers is shown in Fig. 1.2
The origin of the axis system is the center of tire contact.
The X axis is the intersection of the
wheel plane and the ground plane with a positive direction forward.
The Z axis is perpendicular to the
ground plane with a positive direction downward.
The Y axis is in the ground plane, and its direction is chosen to make the
axis system orthogonal and right hand.

1.1.2.4. TIRE FORCES AND MOMENTS
There are three forces and three moments acting on the tire from the
ground.
Tractive force (or longitudinal force) Fx, is the component in
the X direction of the resultant force exerted on the tire by the road.
Lateral force Fy, is the component in the Y direction, and
normal force Fz, is the component in the Z direction.
Overturning moment Mx, is the moment about the X axis exerted on the
tire by the road.
Rolling resistance moment My is the moment about the Y axis, and
aligning torque Mz, is the moment about the Z axis.
With this axis system, many performance parameters of the tire can be
conveniently defined.
1.1.2.5. MECHANICS OF VEHICLETERRAIN INTERACTION -TERRAMECHANICS

While transporting passengers and goods by
vehicles on paved roads constitutes a
significant part of the
overall transportation activities in a modern
society,
a w i d e range of human endeavors in such
fields as
agriculture, logging, construction, mining, exploration, recreatio
n, and military operations still involves locomotion over
unprepared terrain using specialized off-road vehicles.
Systematic studies of the principles underlying the
rational development and design of off-road
vehicles,
therefore, have attracted considerable
interest, particularly since World War II.
The study of the performance of an off-road vehicle in relation to
its operating environment (the terrain) has now become known as
"terramechanics“
1.1.2.5. MECHANICS OF VEHICLETERRAIN INTERACTION -TERRAMECHANICS

In off-road
operations,
various types of terrain with differing behavior,
ranging from desert sand through
soft mud to fresh snow, may be encountered.
The properties of the terrain quite often
impose severe limitations to the mobility of off-road vehicles.
An adequate knowledge of the mechanical properties of the
terrain and its response to vehicular loading-terra mechanics
is, therefore, essential to the proper development and design of
off-road vehicles for a given mission and environment.
This is, perhaps, analogous to the role of
aerodynamics in the development of
aircraft and spacecraft and to that of
hydrodynamics in the design of
marine craft.
1.1.2.5. MECHANICS OF VEHICLETERRAIN INTERACTION -TERRAMECHANICS

On a given terrain, the
performance of an off-road vehicle is, to a great
extent, dependent upon the manner in which the
vehicle interacts with the terrain.
Consequently, an understanding of the
mechanics of vehicle-terrain interaction is of importance to the
proper selection of vehicle configuration and design parameters
to meet specific operational requirements.
A central issue in terra mechanics is to establish a quantitative
relationship between the performance and design of an
off-road vehicle for a given operating environment.
Over the years, a variety of methods, ranging from empirical to
theoretical, for
predicting the performance of tracked and wheeled vehicles
over unprepared terrain have been developed or proposed.
1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS
FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS
Depending on the construction application,
heavy machinery will be used in different ways.
Heavy equipment could be divided in four major components:
 1. Earthmoving equipment
 2. Construction vehicles
 3. Material handling
 4. Construction Equipment
Wheel loaders
Civil construction equipments
1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS
FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS

Vehicle configuration can generally be defined in terms of
form,
size,
weight, and power .
Selection of vehicle configuration is primarily based on
mission and operational requirements and on the
environment in which the vehicle is expected to operate.
In addition,
fuel economy,
safety,
cost,
impact on the environment,
reliability,
maintainability, and other factors have to be taken into
consideration.
1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS
FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS

To define an
optimum vehicle configuration for a given
mission and
environment,
a systems analysis approach should therefore
be adopted.
The analysis of terrain-vehicle systems usually
begins with defining
mission requirements, such as the
type of work to be performed,
the kind of payload to be transported, and the
operational characteristics of the vehicle system, including
output rates,
cost, and
economy.
1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS
FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS

The physical and geometric properties of the
terrain over which the vehicle is expected to
operate are collected as inputs.
Competitive vehicle concepts with
probability of accomplishing the specified mission requirements
are chosen, based on
past experience and
future development trends.
The operational characteristics and
performance of the vehicle candidates are then
analyzed and compared.
In the evaluations, employ relevant methods and techniques.
As a result of systems
analysis,
an order of merit for the vehicle candidates is
established, from which an optimum vehicle configuration is
selected.
1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS
FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS

Thus, selection of vehicle configuration for a given mission and
environment is a complex process, and it is not possible to
define the optimum configuration without detailed analysis.
However, based on the
current state of the art of off-road transport
technology,
some generalization of the
merits and
limitations of
existing vehicle configurations may be made.
Broadly speaking, there are currently
four basic types of ground vehicle capable of operating over a
specific range of unprepared terrain:
 wheeled vehicles,
 tracked vehicles,
 air cushion vehicles, and
 hybrid vehicles.

Wheeled Vehicles :
Referring to the analysis of the tractive performance of off-road vehicles
the maximum drawbar-pull-to-weight ratio of a vehicle may be
expressed by
F d / W = ( F - ∑ R ) / W = ( c A + W tan ф - fr W ) / W








= c / p + tan ф - f r
This equation indicates that for a given terrain with specific values of
cohesion and angle of internal shearing resistance, c and ф the
maximum drawbar-pull-to-weight ratio is a function of the
contact pressure p and the coefficient of motion resistance f r .
The lower the contact pressure and the coefficient of motion
resistance, the higher is the maximum drawbar-pull-to weight ratio.
Since the contact pressure and the motion resistance are
dependent on the design of the vehicle, the proper selection of
vehicle configuration is of utmost importance.

For given overall dimensions and gross weight,
a tracked vehicle will have a larger contact area than
a wheeled vehicle.
Consequently, the ground contact pressure, and hence the sinkage
and external motion resistance of the tracked vehicle, would
generally be lower than that of an equivalent wheeled vehicle.
Furthermore, a tracked vehicle has a longer contact length than a
wheeled vehicle of the same overall dimensions.
Thus, the slip of a tracked vehicle is usually lower than that of an
equivalent wheeled vehicle for the same thrust.
As a result, the mobility of the tracked vehicle is generally
superior to that of the wheeled vehicle in difficult terrain.
The wheeled vehicle is, however, a more suitable choice than the
tracked one when frequent on-road travel and high road speeds are
required.

Tracked Vehicles :
Although the tracked vehicle has the capability of operating over
a wide range of unprepared terrain, to
fully realize its potential, careful attention must be given to the
design of the track system.
The nominal ground pressure of the tracked vehicle
(i.e., ratio of the vehicle gross weight to the nominal ground
contact area) has been quite widely used in the past as
a design parameter of relevance to soft ground performance.
However, the shortcomings in its general use are now evident, both
in its neglect of the actual pressure variation under the track and in
its inability to distinguish between track designs giving different
soft ground mobility. It has been shown that the vehicle sinkage, and
hence motion resistance, depend on the
maximum pressure exerted by the vehicle on the ground and
not the nominal pressure.
1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS
FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS

Therefore, it is of prime importance that the

design of the track system should give as
uniform a contact pressure on the ground as possible
under normal operating conditions.
For low-speed tracked vehicles,
fairly uniform ground contact pressure could be achieved by
using a
relatively rigid track with a long track pitch and
a large number of small diameter road wheels.
 For high-speed tracked vehicles,
to minimize the vibration of the vehicle and of the track,
relatively large diameter road wheels with considerable
suspension travel
and short track pitch are required.
 This would result in a rather
non uniform pressure distribution under the track.

The overlapping road wheel arrangement provides
a possible compromise in meeting the
conflicting requirements for soft ground mobility and
high-speed operations.
Pneumatic tracks and
pneumatic cushion devices have also been proposed
to provide a more uniform pressure distribution on the ground.
Experience and analysis have shown that the
method of steering is also of
importance to the mobility of tracked vehicles in difficult terrain.
Articulated steering provides the vehicle with
better mobility and
maneuverability than
skid-steering over
soft terrain.
1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS
FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS

Articulated steering also makes it possible for
the vehicle to achieve a more rational form since a long, narrow
vehicle
encounters less external resistance over soft ground than does a
short, wide
vehicle with the same contact area.
From an environmental point of view,
 articulated steering causes less damage to the terrain during
maneuvering than slud-steering.
 The characteristics of the transmission also play
a significant role
in vehicle mobility over soft ground.
Generally speaking, automatic transmission is preferred as
it allows gear changing without interruption of
power flow to the running gear.

Air-Cushion Vehicles :
A vehicle wholly supported by an air cushion and
propelled by a propeller or fan air can operate over
level terrain of
low bearing capacity at
relatively high speeds.
It has, however, very limited capabilities in
slope
climbing,
traversing, and
crossing.
Its maneuverability in confined space is
generally poor without a ground contact device.
Existing air propulsion devices are
relatively inefficient, and
could not generate sufficient thrust at low speeds.

Hybrid Vehicles :
Hybrid vehicles are those that employ
two or more forms of running gear, such as the
half-tracked vehicle with front wheel steering,
the air-cushion assist-wheeled vehicle, and
the air-cushioned assist-tracked vehicle.
The tractive performance of a half-tracked vehicle can be predicted
using a combination of the methods developed for
wheeled and tracked vehicles.
It can be said, however, that the use of the
wheel as a directional control device for the
air-cushion vehicle in
overland operations is however, the use of the
wheel as a traction device over difficult terrain has
severe limitations, as mentioned previously.

Over exceedingly soft and cohesive terrain, such as deep mud or
semi liquid swamp, the air-cushion assist-tracked vehicle may have
certain advantages from a technical standpoint.
This is because over this type of terrain, the air cushion can be used to
carry a high proportion of the vehicle weight, thus
minimizing the sinkage and motion resistance of the vehicle.
The track could then be used solely as a propulsion device.
Since in a cohesive type of terrain, the thrust is mainly a function of
the track contact area and the cohesion of the terrain, and is more or
less independent of the normal load, a track with suitable dimensions
may provide the vehicle with the necessary thrust and mobility.
However, the added weight, size, and cost of the aircushion-assist
device must be carefully evaluated against the benefits obtainable,
and the decision on the development of this hybrid vehicle
configuration should be based on the results of a
comprehensive cost-effectiveness analysis.
1.1.3. PRODUCTION OF EARTHMOVING EQUIPMENT
The basic relationship for estimating the production of
all earthmoving equipment is:
Production = Volume per cycle

Cycles per hour

The term "volume per cycle" should represent the
average volume of material moved per equipment cycle.


Thus the nominal capacity of the excavator or haul unit must
be modified by an appropriate fill factor based on the type of
material and equipment involved.



The term "cycles per hour" must include any
appropriate efficiency factors, so that it represents
the number of cycles actually achieved (or expected to be
achieved) per hour.
In addition to this basic production relationship, there are
specific procedures for estimating the production of
major types of
earthmoving equipment .


1.1.3. PRODUCTION OF EARTHMOVING EQUIPMENT
The cost per unit of production may be calculated as follows:
Cost per unit of production
= Equipment cost per hour Equipment production per hour.


There are two principal approaches to
estimating job efficiency in
determining the number of cycles per hour to be used.
 One method is to use the
number of effective working minutes per hour to calculate the
number of cycles achieved per hour.
 This is equivalent to using an efficiency factor equal to the
number of working minutes per hour divided by 60.
1.1.3. PRODUCTION OF EARTHMOVING EQUIPMENT


The other approach is to
multiply the
number of theoretical cycles per 60-min hour by
a numerical efficiency factor.
 A table of efficiency factors based on a
combination of job conditions and
management conditions is
presented in Table2-1.

Earthwork construction and layout : site layout and control : Elevations – The basics
1.Elevation are all relative to known benchmarks.
2.So from below, the bench mark is known to be at 100 m
3.When surveyed the pole reading at the benchmark is 2 m Survey pole
4.So the elevation line of sight is 100 m + 2 m = 102 m
Pole reading = 2 m

Bench Mark =100 m

5. Now obtain the new reading at point A below, the pole reading = 3.9 m
Survey pole

Pole reading = 3.9 m

So the elevation at PT. A = Line of sight elevation – Pole reading at PT. A
= 102 .0 m – 3.9 m = 98.1 m

point where you want to determine its elevation, such as a TP, TBM or BM.

 Probably the most common piece of equipment
in forest road construction is
the bulldozer equipped with straight or U-type blades.
 These are probably the most economical pieces of equipment when
material has to be moved a short distance.
 The economic haul or push distance for a
bulldozer with
a straight blade is from 17 to 90 meters depending on grade.
 The road design should attempt
to keep the mass balance points within these constraints.

The road design should consider the following points when
bulldozers are to be
used for road construction.
1. Roads should be full benched.
Earth is side cast and then wasted
rather than used to build up side cast fills.
2. Earth is moved down-grade with the aid of gravity, not up-grade.
3. Fill material is borrowed rather than
pushed or hauled farther than the
economic limit of the bulldozer.
4. Rock outcrops should be bypassed.
Unless substantial rock blasting is specified requiring
drilling and blasting equipment,
solid rock faces should be avoided.
(This, however, is primarily a road locator's responsibility.)

  • 2. 1.1.0. EARTH MOVING & CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT Introduction: 1. The Earthmoving Process 2. Equipment Selection 3. Production of Earthmoving Equipment 1. Earth moving Process:  Earthmoving is the Earthworks, in their simplest process of moving form, involve processes such as soil or rock from excavating, hauling, dumping, crushi one location to another and ng and compacting (Ricketts, Loftin and processing it so that it meets Merritt 2003). construction requirements of An earthmoving operation consists of the preparation of material, location, the loader/truck loading cycle, haulage of trucks to the disposal elevation, place, the deposition of the material - density, trucks’ return trip to the loading and the station to start another load-and-haul - moisture content,
  • 3. 1.1.0. EARTH MOVING & CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT     The most common method in earthmoving is to employ a number of excavators, wheel loaders and haulers to prepare, excavate, load and transport soil. This method is more beneficial when the hauling distances and material quantities involved are relatively large. The second method is to use more independent equipment such as scrapers and wheel loaders to carry out the entire process, and this method is more appropriate when the transport distance is short. Depending on the scope and working condition of each project, different operation methods and machine types should be selected to maximize the overall performance of the operation.
  • 4. 1.1.1. EARTH MOVING PROCESS - may include site preparation; excavation; Site preparation involves preparing of flat ground level for the excavator and hauling unit for operation. This can usually be done by the excavator at the operation site. But for covering the lead distance and other access roads, it is necessary to have road-building units like dozers and motor graders. loading, hauling, embankment, construction; site preparation excavation excavation loading loading excavation construction loading hauling embankment
  • 5. 1.1.1. EARTH MOVING PROCESS dredging  dredging; This involves removal of sand/soil from water bodies like the back water in shallow ports, rivers & lakes. This can be accomplished by using clam-shells, draglines or de-weeding buckets.   dredging dredging backfilling; placing (dumping and spreading), backfilling dumping spreading trenching

  • 9. 1.1.2.EQUIPMENT SELECTION     The choice of equipment to be used on a construction project has a major Influence on the efficiency and profitability of the construction operation. Although there are a number of factors that should be considered in selecting equipment for a project, the most important criterion is the ability of the equipment to perform the required work.
  • 10. 1.1.2.

  • 14. 1.1.2.1. GROUND VEHICLES- INTRODUCTION In general, the Characteristics of a ground vehicle may be described in terms of its (a) performance, (b) handling, and ( c) ride. (a) Performance characteristics refer to the ability of the vehicle to accelerate, to develop drawbar pull, to overcome obstacles, and to decelerate. (b) Handling qualities are concerned with the response of the vehicle to the driver's commands and its ability to stabilize its motion against external disturbances.
  • 15. 1.1.2.1. GROUND VEHICLES- INTRODUCTION ( c) Ride characteristics are related to the vibration of the vehicle excited by surface irregularities and its effects on passengers and goods. The theory of ground vehicles is concerned with the study of the performance, handling, and ride and their relationships with the design of ground vehicles under various operating conditions. The behavior of a ground vehicle represents the results of the interactions among the driver, the vehicle, and the environment, as illustrated in Fig. 1.

MECHANICS OF PNEUMATIC TIRES Aside from aerodynamic and gravitational forces, all other major forces and moments affecting the motion of a ground vehicle are applied through the running gear-ground contact. An understanding of the basic characteristics of the interaction between the running gear and the ground is, therefore, essential to the study of (a) performance characteristics, (b) handling behavior of ground vehicles, and ( c) ride quality. The running gear of a ground vehicle is generally required to fulfill the following functions:  (i) to support the weight of the vehicle  (ii) to cushion the vehicle over surface irregularities  (iii) to provide sufficient traction for driving and braking  (iv) to provide adequate steering control and direction stability.
  • 18. 1.1.2.3. MECHANICS OF PNEUMATIC TIRES Pneumatic tires can perform these functions effectively and efficiently; thus, they are universally used in road vehicles, and are also widely used in off-road vehicles. The study of the mechanics of pneumatic tires therefore is of fundamental importance to the understanding of the performance and characteristics of ground vehicles. Two basic types of problem in the mechanics of tires are of special interest to vehicle engineers. 1. One is the mechanics of tires on hard surfaces, which is essential to the study of the characteristics of road vehicles. 2. The other is the mechanics of tires on deformable surfaces (unprepared terrain), which is of prime importance to the study of off-road vehicle performance.

TIRE FORCES AND MOMENTS To describe the characteristics of a tire and the forces and moments acting on it, it is necessary to define an axis system that serves as a reference for the definition of various parameters. One of the commonly used axis systems recommended by the Society of Automotive Engineers is shown in Fig. 1.2 The origin of the axis system is the center of tire contact. The X axis is the intersection of the wheel plane and the ground plane with a positive direction forward. The Z axis is perpendicular to the ground plane with a positive direction downward. The Y axis is in the ground plane, and its direction is chosen to make the axis system orthogonal and right hand.

MECHANICS OF VEHICLETERRAIN INTERACTION -TERRAMECHANICS While transporting passengers and goods by vehicles on paved roads constitutes a significant part of the overall transportation activities in a modern society, a w i d e range of human endeavors in such fields as agriculture, logging, construction, mining, exploration, recreatio n, and military operations still involves locomotion over unprepared terrain using specialized off-road vehicles. Systematic studies of the principles underlying the rational development and design of off-road vehicles, therefore, have attracted considerable interest, particularly since World War II. The study of the performance of an off-road vehicle in relation to its operating environment (the terrain) has now become known as "terramechanics“
  • 23. 1.1.2.5. MECHANICS OF VEHICLETERRAIN INTERACTION -TERRAMECHANICS In off-road operations, various types of terrain with differing behavior, ranging from desert sand through soft mud to fresh snow, may be encountered. The properties of the terrain quite often impose severe limitations to the mobility of off-road vehicles. An adequate knowledge of the mechanical properties of the terrain and its response to vehicular loading-terra mechanics is, therefore, essential to the proper development and design of off-road vehicles for a given mission and environment. This is, perhaps, analogous to the role of aerodynamics in the development of aircraft and spacecraft and to that of hydrodynamics in the design of marine craft.
  • 24. 1.1.2.5. MECHANICS OF VEHICLETERRAIN INTERACTION -TERRAMECHANICS On a given terrain, the performance of an off-road vehicle is, to a great extent, dependent upon the manner in which the vehicle interacts with the terrain. Consequently, an understanding of the mechanics of vehicle-terrain interaction is of importance to the proper selection of vehicle configuration and design parameters to meet specific operational requirements. A central issue in terra mechanics is to establish a quantitative relationship between the performance and design of an off-road vehicle for a given operating environment. Over the years, a variety of methods, ranging from empirical to theoretical, for predicting the performance of tracked and wheeled vehicles over unprepared terrain have been developed or proposed.

Selection of vehicle configuration is primarily based on mission and operational requirements and on the environment in which the vehicle is expected to operate. In addition, fuel economy, safety, cost, impact on the environment, reliability, maintainability, and other factors have to be taken into consideration.
  • 33. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS To define an optimum vehicle configuration for a given mission and environment, a systems analysis approach should therefore be adopted. The analysis of terrain-vehicle systems usually begins with defining mission requirements, such as the type of work to be performed, the kind of payload to be transported, and the operational characteristics of the vehicle system, including output rates, cost, and economy.
  • 34. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS The physical and geometric properties of the terrain over which the vehicle is expected to operate are collected as inputs. Competitive vehicle concepts with probability of accomplishing the specified mission requirements are chosen, based on past experience and future development trends. The operational characteristics and performance of the vehicle candidates are then analyzed and compared. In the evaluations, employ relevant methods and techniques. As a result of systems analysis, an order of merit for the vehicle candidates is established, from which an optimum vehicle configuration is selected.
  • 35. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS Thus, selection of vehicle configuration for a given mission and environment is a complex process, and it is not possible to define the optimum configuration without detailed analysis. However, based on the current state of the art of off-road transport technology, some generalization of the merits and limitations of existing vehicle configurations may be made. Broadly speaking, there are currently four basic types of ground vehicle capable of operating over a specific range of unprepared terrain:  wheeled vehicles,  tracked vehicles,  air cushion vehicles, and  hybrid vehicles.
  • 36. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS
  • 37. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS Wheeled Vehicles : Referring to the analysis of the tractive performance of off-road vehicles the maximum drawbar-pull-to-weight ratio of a vehicle may be expressed by F d / W = ( F - ∑ R ) / W = ( c A + W tan ф - fr W ) / W      = c / p + tan ф - f r This equation indicates that for a given terrain with specific values of cohesion and angle of internal shearing resistance, c and ф the maximum drawbar-pull-to-weight ratio is a function of the contact pressure p and the coefficient of motion resistance f r . The lower the contact pressure and the coefficient of motion resistance, the higher is the maximum drawbar-pull-to weight ratio. Since the contact pressure and the motion resistance are dependent on the design of the vehicle, the proper selection of vehicle configuration is of utmost importance.
  • 38. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS       For given overall dimensions and gross weight, a tracked vehicle will have a larger contact area than a wheeled vehicle. Consequently, the ground contact pressure, and hence the sinkage and external motion resistance of the tracked vehicle, would generally be lower than that of an equivalent wheeled vehicle. Furthermore, a tracked vehicle has a longer contact length than a wheeled vehicle of the same overall dimensions. Thus, the slip of a tracked vehicle is usually lower than that of an equivalent wheeled vehicle for the same thrust. As a result, the mobility of the tracked vehicle is generally superior to that of the wheeled vehicle in difficult terrain. The wheeled vehicle is, however, a more suitable choice than the tracked one when frequent on-road travel and high road speeds are required.
  • 39. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS      Tracked Vehicles : Although the tracked vehicle has the capability of operating over a wide range of unprepared terrain, to fully realize its potential, careful attention must be given to the design of the track system. The nominal ground pressure of the tracked vehicle (i.e., ratio of the vehicle gross weight to the nominal ground contact area) has been quite widely used in the past as a design parameter of relevance to soft ground performance. However, the shortcomings in its general use are now evident, both in its neglect of the actual pressure variation under the track and in its inability to distinguish between track designs giving different soft ground mobility. It has been shown that the vehicle sinkage, and hence motion resistance, depend on the maximum pressure exerted by the vehicle on the ground and not the nominal pressure.
  • 40. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS Therefore, it is of prime importance that the  design of the track system should give as uniform a contact pressure on the ground as possible under normal operating conditions. For low-speed tracked vehicles, fairly uniform ground contact pressure could be achieved by using a relatively rigid track with a long track pitch and a large number of small diameter road wheels.  For high-speed tracked vehicles, to minimize the vibration of the vehicle and of the track, relatively large diameter road wheels with considerable suspension travel and short track pitch are required.  This would result in a rather non uniform pressure distribution under the track. 
  • 41. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS        The overlapping road wheel arrangement provides a possible compromise in meeting the conflicting requirements for soft ground mobility and high-speed operations. Pneumatic tracks and pneumatic cushion devices have also been proposed to provide a more uniform pressure distribution on the ground. Experience and analysis have shown that the method of steering is also of importance to the mobility of tracked vehicles in difficult terrain. Articulated steering provides the vehicle with better mobility and maneuverability than skid-steering over soft terrain.
  • 42. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS Articulated steering also makes it possible for the vehicle to achieve a more rational form since a long, narrow vehicle encounters less external resistance over soft ground than does a short, wide vehicle with the same contact area. From an environmental point of view,  articulated steering causes less damage to the terrain during maneuvering than slud-steering.  The characteristics of the transmission also play a significant role in vehicle mobility over soft ground. Generally speaking, automatic transmission is preferred as it allows gear changing without interruption of power flow to the running gear.
  • 43. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS       Air-Cushion Vehicles : A vehicle wholly supported by an air cushion and propelled by a propeller or fan air can operate over level terrain of low bearing capacity at relatively high speeds. It has, however, very limited capabilities in slope climbing, traversing, and crossing. Its maneuverability in confined space is generally poor without a ground contact device. Existing air propulsion devices are relatively inefficient, and could not generate sufficient thrust at low speeds. slope obstacle
  • 44. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS     Over rugged terrain, skirt damage could pose a serious problem, while over snow or sandy terrain, visibility could be considerably reduced by a cloud of small particles formed around the vehicle. With the current state of the art, the potential of the air-cushion vehicle with air propulsion can only be fully exploited over relatively flat and smooth terrain at high speeds.
  • 45. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS       Hybrid Vehicles : Hybrid vehicles are those that employ two or more forms of running gear, such as the half-tracked vehicle with front wheel steering, the air-cushion assist-wheeled vehicle, and the air-cushioned assist-tracked vehicle. The tractive performance of a half-tracked vehicle can be predicted using a combination of the methods developed for wheeled and tracked vehicles. It can be said, however, that the use of the wheel as a directional control device for the air-cushion vehicle in overland operations is however, the use of the wheel as a traction device over difficult terrain has severe limitations, as mentioned previously.
  • 46. 1.1.2.6. SELECTION OF VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS       Over exceedingly soft and cohesive terrain, such as deep mud or semi liquid swamp, the air-cushion assist-tracked vehicle may have certain advantages from a technical standpoint. This is because over this type of terrain, the air cushion can be used to carry a high proportion of the vehicle weight, thus minimizing the sinkage and motion resistance of the vehicle. The track could then be used solely as a propulsion device. Since in a cohesive type of terrain, the thrust is mainly a function of the track contact area and the cohesion of the terrain, and is more or less independent of the normal load, a track with suitable dimensions may provide the vehicle with the necessary thrust and mobility. However, the added weight, size, and cost of the aircushion-assist device must be carefully evaluated against the benefits obtainable, and the decision on the development of this hybrid vehicle configuration should be based on the results of a comprehensive cost-effectiveness analysis.
