The efficiency of a skid-steer, all-wheel drive, multiple-axle vehicle with a hydrostatic drivetrain equipped with low-speed motors when it operates on soft terrain was studied. A flow divider enables a single pump to simultaneously power more than one motor circuit with different pressures in each. It prevents kinematic discrepancy and improves vehicle mobility. There are two types of flow divider: spool type and gear type, where each type has its own set of performance characteristics, such as flow range, pressure drop, accuracy and application parameters. In the present work, the influence of the characteristics of both types of flow divider on overall vehicle driveline efficacy is described.

Heavy-wheeled vehicles with articulated hydraulic steering systems are widely used in construction, road building, forestry, and agriculture, as transport units and tool-carriers because they have many unique advantages that are not available in car steering systems, based on the Ackermann principle, such as—high cross-country mobility, excellent maneuverability, and high payload and lift capacity, due to heavy axles components. One problem that limits their speed of operation and use efficiency is that they have poor directional stability. During straight movement, articulated tractors’ deviate from a straight line and permanent driver correction is required. This limits the vehicles’ speed and productivity. In this study, we describe a driver-aid system concept that would improve the directional stability of articulated vehicles. Designing such a system demands a comprehensive knowledge of the reasons for the snaking phenomenon and driver behaviors. The results of our articulated vehicle directional stability investigation are presented. On this basis, we developed models of articulated vehicles with hydraulic steering systems and driver interaction. We next added the stabilizing system to the model. A simulation demonstrated the possibility of directional stability improvement.

In this paper, the scope of operations performed by robots to neutralize IED is presented. Next, the concept of the robot manipulators set for the quick neutralization of the IED was presented. The concept includes: kinematics, models of individual parts of the manipulators set shown on the assembly model, proposed tools and drive system. The assumptions for simulation in the MSC Adams program and results of simulations were presented. It was concluded that dynamic loads during fast work of manipulators determine the load limits of the structure. The possibility and legitimacy of the manipulator was confirmed. In this paper concept of the set of manipulators for such operations is shown.

The improvement of intuitive control of engineer robot manipulators caused the development of special control lever mechanisms. This approach has reduced the psycho-physical fatigue of the operator by automating the movement of individual manipulator units based on the control of its working tool. The article presents experimental accuracy control for one of the typical kinematic structures of engineer robot's manipulator using lever mechanism. Taking into consideration, a model of such a mechanism and a control algorithm that uses the operation of typical regulators were developed and made. Based on the movement of the manipulator's working tool along the assumed horizontal trajectory for different speeds of movement the errors in running working tool were determined. For the assessment the indicators related to the characteristics of the obtained trajectories and pressure runs in individual hydraulic cylinders were used.

The study presents the issue of kinematic discrepancy of hydrostatic drive systems of high mobility vehicles, and its impact on the presence of the unfavourable phenomenon of circulating power. Furthermore, it presents a theoretical discussion concerning the capacity of the compensation of kinematic discrepancy by a hydrostatic drive system on the basis of tests using static characteristics.

Currently led military operations (Iraq and Afganistan) have shown that one of the biggest threats for vehicles moving in convoys are Improvised Explosive Devices. On the basis of experiments, it was found that there are not such structures which are completely resistant to explosion. The paper describes the concept for arms of suspension system with specially reduced construction node which undergo a controlled destruction at the time of detonation. Designing the target elements requires tests in order to determine the service load for suspension system..

Articulated tractors are wide available on the construction equipment market and have a lot of unique advantages not accessible in case of Ackerman steering system or truck-mounted tools. The only unsolved problem is their poor directional stability which significantly limits the speed of operation and work efficiency. This paper investigates the phenomenon of directional stability loss and indicates main reasons for its appearance by means of experimental research. Moreover, conducted tests, acquired results and their analysis could be a basis for future works on stabilizing system supporting the driver of an articulated tractor or enabling operation in remote control mode.
