PROBABILISTIC MATHEMATICAL MODEL IN ASSESSMENT PROBLEMS OF SHALLOW-WATER FLOTATION ABILITY BY AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLES
The article proposes a mathematical model of the process of an amphibious exit. The probabilistic approach is used. The probability of the amphibious exit is taken as an estimate. The model can be used as a basis for the development of the design technique for assessing the floatation ability of amphibious vehicles in shallow areas of water obstacles. Unlike field tests, the design technique will allow to assay the property in question and make an assessment at the design stage of the vehicle. In such a case, motion processes can be modeled in various ground conditions under any slope angle of the ground.
