AN ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR PREDICTING CROSS-COUNTRY VEHICLE PERFORMANCE. APPENDIX C = VEHICLE PERFORMANCE IN VERTICAL OBSTACLES (SURFACE GEOMETRY)

THIS APPENDIX PRESENTS A BRIEF HISTORY OF VEHICLE DYNAMICS MODELING, A DISCUSSION OF AN APPROACH TO PREDICTING VEHICLE PERFORMANCE IN TERRAIN CONTAINING DISCRETE VERTICAL OBSTACLES, AND DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO DYNAMIC RESPONSE PREDICTION MODELS. MEASURED AND PREDICTED VEHICLE PERFORMANCE ARE COMPARED. TESTS RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE PREDICTION TECHNIQUES ARE REASONABLY ACCURATE, BUT THAT REFINEMENT IN THE MODELS IS NECESSARY. /NTIS/
