“…Therefore, in calculations for investigating the dynamics of soil tillage machines, statistical characteristics of surface unevennesses received before the passage of the machine are applied. The latest studies on wheeled vehicle vibrations and elastic properties of the soil show that their behavior is evaluated by different physical and mechanical parameters [13][14][15][16][17]. It confirms the relevance of examining each of the two subsystems separately.…”

“…Sprung systems of all wheeled forest tractors are symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axle of the machine [13,16]. Longitudinal angular oscillations of the sprung mass symmetrical with respect to machine longitudinal axle can be considered independently from transverse angular oscillations and vice versa.…”

“…Tire rigidity manifests at all investigated vibrations: vertical, transverse, and longitudinal angular. Researchers of lorries with high loading capacity have established linear dependence of elasticity of front (tires and shock absorbers) and rear (only tires) suspensions, especially within the range of real deformations and air pressure in the tire recommended by manufacturers [13,28].…”

An increasing demand for forest products incites a large number of log transportation operations, which may lead to negative consequences for the soil and the ecosystem as a whole. This paper is focused on establishing a mathematical model to estimate the soil deformation and compaction processes under tires of wheeled forest machines and individual components of the skidding system such as forwarder, limbs, butts, and tops of tree-lengths in high latitudes, permafrost soil and forests. The method applied is based on simulating the impact processes of elastic tires and the skidding system on the soil through a mathematical device for the measurement of the compaction parameters for different types of soil and the size of the shelterbelt. The effectiveness of the proposed models was evaluated according to experimental results. The influence of the rheological (elastic, viscous, and plastic) properties of soil were studied. The elasticity of tires and the running speed of forest machines can help to control the performance of forest machines. This can be done by reducing the pressure exerted on the soil and increasing the number of skidder passes 1.5-2-fold. Comparative analysis showed that the calculated data differ from the experimental ones by no more than 10%. The obtained results and the developed model will allow for a qualitative and quantitative assessment of technological impact on the soil during the projecting maps for logging operations.

“…During the skidding process, it is not possible to maintain the given direction of traffic precisely, and the skidding machinery may rotate. As when maneuvering off-road vehicles, it leads to additional shearing stress in a direction perpendicular to that of a normal load of the forwarder and, thus, has a destructive effect on the soil structure and adversely affects its fertility [12].…”

The study aims to build a model for the assessment of soil compaction processes, which take place under the influence of individual components of the skidding system such as a forwarder and a log being moved over the terrain. This aim is relevant in the context of forest preservation and ecological footprint-related issues. The model of a single log impact on the soil is based on establishing calculation formulas for determining soil compaction factors and shelterbelt size. The efficiency of the model was assessed on different soil categories and compared to experimental findings. The value of relative soil compaction within the trail boundary and the size rs of the maximum compaction area in the radial direction from the track, the width of the shelterbelt of undergrowth or cut-to-length root system were estimated based on the initial contact parameters.
