Výskum lesníckych strojov z hľadiska dynamiky pohybu so zameraním na perspektívne netradičné konštrukcie, počítačovú simuláciu a podporu prevádzkových procesov

The project is aimed on research of unusual, but perspective, mechanisms of forest machines, mainly vehicles, which will be investigated and analyzed by computer simulation of its working operations with a focus on dynamics of motion and wider exploitation of computer technologies. The target is to evaluate benefits and disadvantages of chosen mechanism, their optimal parameters, based on their detailed computer models. Outcomes will be created by the mechanisms with verified dynamical behaviour, ready for stage of construction process, and an experimental device of one mechanism chosen in accordance to results of the simulations, in real size or in a reduced scale. A group of considered mechanisms is open and contains a small tracked mechanism without a driver, a small tracked chassis with a driver and increased trafficability, a walking mechanism, and a wheeled chassis with non-pneumatic wheels.
