                         survey different military requirements. This procedure reduces RD 
                         and production costs, as well as simplifies the logistical supply 
                         chain. In this sense, the choice of the number of axles is 
                         relevant in the project of military vehicles, modifying the 
                         vehicle capabilities to transport soldiers, materials and weapons. 
                         This work analyzes the effects of the number of axles on vehicle 
                         behavior travelling on a terrain with a step. A half car model is 
                         employed to evaluate the 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 vehicle configurations. 
                         All of the wheels have independent and passive suspensions with 
                         springs and dampers. The system of ordinary differential 
                         equations, which represents the half car model, is solved by a 
                         fourth order Runge-Kutta algorithm implemented in SciLab software. 
                         The results describe the pitch and bounce displacements of the 
                         hull. The influence of the vehicle velocity passing on the bump is 
                         also analyzed.",
