Features: The first part of this book focuses on the structure of a domestically produced main battle tank model as the 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 artillery. The book provides a particularly detailed explanation of the tank's transmission system and protection system, combining data from the main battle tank model and some advanced tanks worldwide. The second part systematically discusses the overall performance, overall design methods and processes, driving principles, and 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 in ground weapon mobility engineering or other defense-related fields at universities, as well as serving as a reference for engineering and technical personnel.
