摘要：This manuscript analysed the performance of 17 DOF wheeled armoured vehicle due to recoil force,in lateral direction. The vehicle model consisted of 7 DOF ride and handling,Pacejka Magic tire,2 DOF Pitman Arm steering and 1 DOF gun turret models. A yaw moment occurred at the Centre of Gravity (CG) of the vehicle caused by the recoil force from gun. This recoil force creates instability conditions and affects the travelling path of the vehicle during firing. The vehicle model is evaluated using the firing angle of 45° and 90°,calibre size of 57 and 75 mm at speeds,40 and 60 km/h. The vehicle model is evaluated in terms of yaw rate and angle,vehicle sideslip angle,lateral acceleration and displacement.
