Features: The first part of this book focuses on the structure of a domestically produced main battle tank model as its main line, systematically introducing the overall construction, functions, and working principles of the tank's weapon, propulsion, protection, electrical, and communication systems. Additionally, it briefly describes the construction of some components in other types of armored vehicles such as infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and self-propelled howitzers. The book provides a particularly detailed explanation of the tank's transmission system and protection system, combining information from the specific main battle tank model and some advanced tanks worldwide. The second part systematically discusses the overall performance, overall design methods and processes, driving principles, as well as the design theories, methods, and processes of major components such as transmission, mobility, and steering in tank armored vehicles. It also introduces modern design methods and the application of computer technology in the design of tank armored vehicles. This book is suitable for students majoring in ground weapon mobility engineering or other defense-related fields in higher education institutions, as well as for reference by relevant engineering and technical personnel.
