Impact of vertical load, multiple passes, and speed on rut depth in soil under pneumatic and track wheels [PDF]
When vehicles pass over soil, ruts are created in the soil, the effect of which can be found in soil compaction. This research was conducted to investigate and rank the effect of vertical load, multiple passes, and forward speed on rut depth.

DESIGN AND EXPERIMENT OF SELF-PROPELLED SYSTEM FOR PADDY FIELD WEEDER BASED ON THE INTERACTION MECHANISM OF WHEEL-SOIL [PDF]
Aiming at the low mechanization of paddy field weeding and lack of dedicated agricultural machinery for paddy field weeding in China, a self-propelled system of paddy field weeding machine was designed. The overall structure and working principle of self-

Discrete Element Modelling of Soil Compaction of a Press-Wheel
Press-wheels are wheels designed to compact the soil above seeds in the “seed cover” region. Soil compaction, produced by the press-wheels of seeders, affects seedling emergence and early plant growth.

Traction failure on loose terrain is common in conventional agricultural wheeled tractors due to poor traction ability and lower power transfer efficiency of drive wheels, which leads to excessive energy consumption and soil compaction in agriculture. To

Wheel rolling on deformable ground with slippage [PDF]
Wheeled vehicles can move not only on a solid supporting surface, but also on deformable surfaces (snow, ground, sand, etc.). When a pneumatic wheel with a high internal air pressure rolls over deformable soil, the nature of the wheels’ interaction with ...

Simulation of the Wheel-Surface Interaction Dynamics for All-Terrain Vehicles
In this paper, a new methodology for the numerical simulation of the wheel–surface interaction has been presented. The finite-element method was combined with the discrete-element method, rigid body dynamics, and the advanced wheel–surface friction model.

Finite element analysis of footwear and ground interaction [PDF]
Military boots are designed to prevent the soft tissue and skeletal structure of the feet from damage under heavy usage. Good slip-resistant tread patterns of the outer-sole are vital to minimise the risk or severity of slipping under demanding ...
