Abstract
The relevance of increasing the efficiency of timber transportation by forest transport vehicles through development of a promising hydropneumatic suspension scheme has been substantiated. A diagram of the proposed modular design suspension and logging vehicle equipped with this type of suspension has been presented. The results of its simulation have been also showed. A mathematical model of the movement of a six-wheeled timber truck in three-dimensional space has been developed to evaluate the use of such hydropneumatic suspensions in a forest car. The design scheme for constructing a timber truck dynamic model has been presented. The sequence of numerical integration at each time step has been described. It includes seven stages, repeated many times during the computer experiment. A computer program has been developed. It enables to investigate the coordinated operation of hydropneumatic suspensions and the influence of their parameters on the smooth running of a timber truck. Computer experiments have been carried out to overcome bumps and obstacles with given parameters at different speeds. The time dependences of the volume of the pneumatic cavity of the hydropneumatic suspension, pressure and gas temperature in it have been obtained. The influence of the average height of irregularities, the number of obstacles per unit length, the speed of timber truck on the maximum vertical acceleration of timber truck, the maximum pressure and temperature difference in the pneumatic cavity of the suspension under study has been revealed
