초록

차량의 엔진성능에 따라 구동성능이 결정되는 도로주행차량과 달리, 포장되지 않은 지반 위를 주행하는 야지궤도차량의 구동성능은 지반-궤도 접지면에서 발생하는 지반의 전단 및 침하현상에 의해 제한된다. 특히 차량의 중량에 의해 발생하는 정적침하 및 슬립에 의해 유발되는 슬립침하는 지반-궤도 접지면에서 지반저항력을 발현시켜 야지궤도 차량의 구동을 직접적으로 방해하는 요소로 작용한다. 따라서 야지궤도차량의 구동성능을 확보하기 위해서는 정적침하 및 슬립침하를 평가하고 제한할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 야지궤도차량의 중량 및 구동지반의 특성이 슬립침하에 미치는 영향을 종합적으로 평가하기 위하여, 다양한 연직하중 및 지반조건에서 모형궤도시험을 수행하였다. 모형 시험 결과, 모든 시험조건에 대해 슬립율이 증가할수록 슬립침하가 증가했지만, 그 증가량은 점차 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 궤도시스템에 재하 된 상부 연직하중이 크고 모형지반의 상대밀도가 작을수록 슬립침하가 커지며 이에 따라 지반저항력도 증가하는 것으로 평가되었다. 추가적으로, 평가된 슬립침하를 각 시험조건 별로 산정된 정적침하로 정규화 시킨 뒤 이를 슬립율에 관한 함수로 나타내어 야지궤도차량의 침하량 및 지반저항력 산정 시 활용 가능하도록 하였다.

When a tracked vehicle travels off-road, shearing action and ground sinkage occur on the soil-track interface and severely affect tractive performance of the tracked vehicle. Especially, the ground sinkage, which is induced by vehicle's weight (hereinafter referred to as static sinkage) and longitudinal forces in the direction of travel producing slip (hereinafter referred to as slip sinkage), develops soil resistance, directly restricting the tractive performance of an off-road tracked vehicle. Thus, to assess the tractive performance of an off-road tracked vehicle, it is imperative to take both of static sinkage and slip sinkage into consideration. In this research, a series of model track experiments was conducted to investigate the slip sinkage which has not been clarified. Experiment results showed that the slip sinkage increased with increasing the slip ratio, but the increasing rate gradually decreased. Also, the slip sinkage was found to increase as relative density of soil decreased and imposed vertical load increased. From the experiment results, the normalized slip sinkage defined as slip sinkage to static sinkage calculated in the identical condition was investigated, and an empirical equation for the slip sinkage was developed in terms of slip ratio, which allows vehicle operators to predict the slip sinkage in a given soil and operating conditions.
