Experimental analysis of vertical soil reaction and soil stress distribution under off-road tires

Finite element modeling of tire/terrain interaction: Application to predicting soil compaction and tire mobility

“…The majority of research effort was focused on field tests [1,2]. Some analytical and empirical approaches on traction and soil compaction were employed [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] as well as finite element method attempted by the author [10].…”

Determining the magnitude of traction force on the axes of drive wheels of self-propelled machines

“…Articles [8,9] give expressions for determining the traction effort of tractor, which is derived as the difference between horizontal action of the ground force on the wheel and resistance force to the motion of the wheel. Physical essence of the occurrence of traction force is also missing.…”

Truck tyre-terrain interaction modelling and testing: literature survey

“…It is reported that simulations to demonstrate how the tire-terrain interaction model can be used to predict soil compaction and tire manoeuvrability in the field of terramechanics (Xia, 2011). The majority of research effort was focused on field tests (Eguchi and Muro, 2007;Nguyen et al, 2008). Fervers (2004) recognised a flexible tire model and applied it to study tire/soil interaction using finite element.…”
