COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE VOLUMETRIC DISPLACEMENT OF ARMORED TRANSPORT-TECHNOLOGICAL MACHINES

Determination of volumetric displacement of transport-technological machines used for works in flood zones is an extremely important task ensuring safety and efficiency of works under the influence of water environment factors. The article presents a review and analysis of various methods of displacement determination, ranging from simple geometric calculations to complex experimental methods using pressure sensors and 3D modeling. The advantages and disadvantages of each method and their applications are discussed. Special attention is paid to the accuracy of the methods depending on the specific problem, available resources and required accuracy. Examples of practical application of the methods discussed are presented for determining the underwater volume of a backhoe loader as a non-swimming machine wading through water obstacles.
