This coefficient is very useful to be able to estimate the performance of a tracked vehicle, including slips in the converter. Determining vehicle acceleration plays an important role in assessing vehicle mobility. Additionally, during the transition from the Hydroconverter to the hydro-clutch regime, these estimations become quite difficult due to the complexity of the propulsion aggregate (engine and hydrodynamic transmission) and rolling equipment. The algorithm for determining performance is focused on estimating acceleration performance. To validate the proposed model, tests were performed to determine the equivalent reduced moments of inertia at the drive wheel (gravitational method) and the main components (three-wire pendulum method). The dynamic performances determined during the starting process are necessary for the validation of the general model for simulating the longitudinal dynamics of the vehicle. Finally, the differential and algebraic equations of the virtual model approximate more accurately the actual process of the operation of the vehicle. The virtual model, through the data obtained from the simulation process, allows for the determination, indirectly, of the variation of the mass moment of inertia coefficient and its expression of approximation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20195587","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,29]],"date-time":"2020-09-29T08:43:27Z","timestamp":1601369007000},"page":"5587","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Considerations for Determining the Coefficient of Inertia Masses for a Tracked Vehicle"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Octavian","family":"Alexa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Military Technical Academy \u201cFERDINAND I\u201d, 39-49 George Co\u0219buc Av., 050141 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Iulian","family":"Corope\u021bchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Military Technical Academy \u201cFERDINAND I\u201d, 39-49 George Co\u0219buc Av., 050141 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandru","family":"Vasile","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Military Technical Academy \u201cFERDINAND I\u201d, 39-49 George Co\u0219buc Av., 050141 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3026-7702","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ionica","family":"Oncioiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Finance-Banking, Accountancy and Business Administration, Titu Maiorescu University, 040051 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucian \u0218tef\u0103ni\u021b\u0103","family":"Grigore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Military Technical Academy \u201cFERDINAND I\u201d, 39-49 George Co\u0219buc Av., 050141 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"499","DOI":"10.4028\/www.scientific.net\/AMR.1036.499","article-title":"Simulating the longitudinal dynamics of a tracked vehicle","volume":"1036","author":"Alexa","year":"2014","journal-title":"Adv.
