Calibration of discrete element method simulation parameters for lunar rover using simulated lunar soil

Journal of Physics: Conference Series
Abstract To ensure the accuracy and scientific validity of simulation results in discrete element simulation of simulated lunar soil and sieve wheels for lunar surface probes, a method for calibrating the simulation parameters of an analog lunar soil simulation using a box-Behnken experimental design is proposed.
