TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of tracked vehicles, and particularly relates to a method for determining the pre-tension of a high-speed tracked vehicle. BACKGROUND
[0002] The pre-tension of a track is the tension applied to the track by a track tensioning device. When the vehicle is running at high speed, if the value is set too small, the ground pressure under each track roller will increase, and the track may even fall off, reducing the passability of the vehicle. If the value is set too large, the passability of the vehicle will be improved, but the track may be broken, reducing the service life of the track system and directly affecting the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle. The traditional setting of the pre-tension of a high-speed tracked vehicle mainly focuses on the passability of the vehicle, ignoring the stability of the task load. In addition, in actual engineering applications, the setting of the pre-tension often depends on the experience and subjective judgment of engineers, and lacks theoretical basis. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for determining the pre-tension of a tracked vehicle that takes into account the passability and stability of the task load, in order to improve the dynamic performance of the vehicle.

[0051] In step 7, the road roughness excitation model is used to simulate the excitation of the vehicle in the driving process by the road impact load; different vehicle speed excitations are used to simulate that the load action time lag period is different, causing different vibration responses of the whole vehicle with the change of the driving speed.
