Estimation of energy consumption for rolling a mobile vehicle equipped with ultra-low-pressure tires
Abstract
The article deals with the problem of reducing energy consumption when moving mobile power sources on deformable support bases. On basis of experimental studies using test-bench equipment, the main output parameters of 1020x420-18 tire of Bel-79 model were determined. Analysis of the results obtained made it possible to determine an optimal range of intra-tire pressure, when the realized propulsive efficiency takes maximum values, and energy consumption for selfpropulsion is minimal.
