Processes involved in the design of a segmented rubber tracked vehicle for Sepang peat terrain in Malaysia

This paper describes a framework for designing a new segmented rubber track vehicle for low bearing capacity Sepang peat terrain in Malaysia. Based on a given set of vehicle dimensions and terrain-track system constants, a simulation technique is then used to optimise the design parameters of the v...
