Study on air-cushion tracked vehicle performance: theoretical analysis and experimental validation

This paper presents a theoretical framework for simulating the vehicle ground contact pressure distribution, vehicle sinkage and the tractive performance of an air-cushion tracked vehicle. It takes into account track sizes of the vehicle, air-cushion effective area as well as the terrain nominal p...
