Vehicle dynamics model development and verification tests of 6x6 armored combat vehi?cle

In this thesis, vehicle dynamics models of 6x6 armored combat vehicle are made for ride dynamics, model verifications tests are achieved and than test and models results are compared. First, in order to understand the effect of vehicle parameters which are like mass, moment of inertia and etc for ride dynamics, mathematical half car model are built up with lumped mass method in Matlab. Natural Frequancies of vehicle are calculated with this model. Later, Multibody Dynamics model are made in MSC ADAMS/Car for full vehicle model. The time domain results of both models are compared with test results. The reasons of compliances and differences of results are investigated and evaluated.
