Abstract

ABSTRACT
Track rollers are usually subjected to heavy stresses during guide and launching
processes. Design of such roller systems to withstand high dynamic loads during
guiding and launching processes may lead to massive structure such in mobile
bridge launcher. The feature-based modeling technology in computer aided design
(CAD) has been widely studied, which greatly facilitates the manufacture of the
design. In this study computer aided engineering (CAE) techniques was used in
design of a smart bridge launcher which insure satisfaction distribution of the applied
dynamic loads during launching and enhancing roller system design to cover
overestimated manufacturing tolerances deformations. Results show that roller
system design has significant effect on rolling resistance and overall launching
process.
