Abstract An analytical method for predicting the pressure distribution beneath a tracked vehicle under static conditions is presented. In the analysis, the track-suspension system which consists of the track, the suspension and the track tensioning device, is considered inits entirety. All major design parameters of the vehicle, as well as terrain characteristics, are taken into consideration. It is shown that the analytical method proposed can provide a means whereby the effects of vehicle design parameters and terrain conditions on ground pressure distribution can be assessed quantitatively.
