Experimental investigation of factors affecting the characterisation of soil strength properties using a Bevameter in-situ plate sinkage and shear test apparatus

Journal of Terramechanics, 2023
The Bekker-Wong soil-wheel interaction model has been widely adopted in the terramechanics field. This model requires the soil to be characterised using a Bevameter, which entails performing in situ plate sinkage and shear stress tests. Bevameter soil characterisation is not a standardised test procedure, and the test setup may influence the identified

Bevameter testing on simulant Fillite for planetary rover mobility applications

Journal of Terramechanics, 2017
Abstract This paper examines pressure-sinkage and shearing behavior via bevameter testing of a light-weight, granular simulant called Fillite in support of laboratory modeling of rover mobility in high-sinkage, high-slip environments typically found on Mars, the Moon, and other planetary bodies.

Tillage force prediction from terrain characterization with the bevameter

Soil and Tillage Research, 1991
Abstract The relationship between the soil parameters measured during soil testing using the bevameter system and horizontal forces acting on a simple tillage tool were investigated. Field experiments were conducted on untilled, compacted and recently tilled soil.

A Combined Simple/Complex Terramechanics Representation Part 1: Using Machine Learning to Identify DEM Soil Properties From Bevameter Test Data

Volume 10: 19th International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control (MSNDC), 2023
Abstract This study seeks to improve upon existing methods of characterizing soft-soils for mobility simulations which use the Discrete Element Method. The study presents a novel approach for characterizing DEM properties based on Bevameter test data.

The design and development of a hydraulic bevameter

Journal of Terramechanics, 1964
Abstract The apparatus described is driven hydrautically and uses oil pressure to record torque and thrust by means of an engine type indicator. The bevameter can be operated by one person and is intended for use either in the laboratory or in the field.

Testing of Soft Clays Using Bevameter for Deep-Sea Mining Machine

Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering, 2019
India has been developing technology for deep-sea mining in the Central Indian Ocean Basin from 6000 m water depth. The Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) is abundant in nodules which are rich sources of minerals like manganese, copper, cobalt, and nickel. The intended mining machine has to collect the nodules from the seabed, crush them, and pump it to

An investigation of the bevameter soil physical measurements in the prediction of soil tool draft

Journal of Terramechanics, 1990
Abstract The relationship between the parameters measured during soil testing using the bevameter system and the horizontal forces acting on a simple soil-cutting blade were investigated. Field experiments were conducted on untilled, compacted soil and on recently-tilled soil.

Off-Road Terrain Characterization with the Bevameter for Predicting Tillage Forces

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1990
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The relationship between the soil parameters measured during soil testing using the bevameter system and horizontal forces acting on a simple tillage tool were investigated. Field experiments were conducted on untilled, compacted soil and on recently tilled soil. On both soils, five sites were randomly chosen where
