Experimental results of flotation of the KamAZ-4350, KamAZ-5350 and Ural-4320-31 automobiles with differential and locked-wheel drive at steady curvilinear motion

The results of experimental studies on determination of the coefficient of resistance to rolling at the steady curvilinear motion of automobiles KamAZ-4350, KamAZ-5350 and Ural-4320-31 with differential and locked-wheel drive. There was made the conclusion about the increase in a hyperbolic dependence of the coefficient of resistance to rolling with the increase of curvature of the trajectory of rotation. Possible ways of improving the maneuverability of all-wheel drive trucks with curvilinear motion on deformable unpaved surfaces were identified.
