From: pur-ee!luj@gus16.ecn.purdue.edu (Jun Lu)
I want to simulate a tank's dynamics via computer but found little
references about the tank's dynamics.  I tried to follow the approach 
in the J.Y. Wong's book "Theory of Ground Vehicles" but end up highly 
nonlinear(discontinuous) model. 

Any sources/pointers regarding a GENERIC tracked vehicle's dynamics would be
appreciated( You can certainly send me the model about M1A1 tank if you
don't mind :-) BTW I do have the model for F-16, I can certainly let you
know if you're interested.

Please reply by email, as I don't read the news group very often.

Thanks a lot ...
