DEM simulation of soil-tool interaction under extraterrestrial environmental effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In contrast to terrestrial environment, the harsh lunar environment conditions include lower gravity acceleration, ultra-high vacuum and high (low) temperature in the daytime (night-time).

Evaluation of the shear deformation model in the process of wheel sinking by the wheel experiment

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
Soft soils cover on planetary surfaces, so the wheels for exploration rovers easily slip. Understanding an interaction between a wheel and soft soils is important for a traction control to improve rover traversability.

Parameters Identification of Tire–Clay Contact Angle Based on Numerical Simulation

open access: yesMachines
The predictive accuracy of the Bekker–Wong model for wheel traction is highly dependent on the precision of the wheel–soil contact angle parameters. These parameters are typically identified through extensive and costly single wheel–soil tests, which are

Development of Grousers with a Tactile Sensor for Wheels of Lunar Exploration Rovers to Measure Sinkage

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2014
This paper presents a grouser developed for the wheels of lunar exploration rovers to measure sinkage. The wheels, which are intended to traverse loose soil such as lunar regolith, contain grousers that transfer thrust to the wheels and thus to the body ...

Modeling of the interaction of rigid wheels with dry granular media

open access: yes, 2019
We analyze the capabilities of various recently developed techniques, namely Resistive Force Theory (RFT) and continuum plasticity implemented with the Material Point Method (MPM), in capturing dynamics of wheel--dry granular media interactions.

Exploring Tractive Performance of Planetary Rover's Rigid Wheels on Mixed Terrain

open access: yesXibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao, 2020
Based on insufficient studies of the tractive performance of a planetary rover's rigid wheels in soft soil and hard mixed soil terrains, a method for studying the tractive performance is presented.
