Simulation of the Wheel-Surface Interaction Dynamics for All-Terrain Vehicles

open access: yesApplied Mechanics, 2022
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]

open access: yes, 2005
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 ...

Use of rare earth oxides as tracers to identify sediment source areas for agricultural hillslopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Understanding sediment sources is essential to enable more effective targeting of in-field mitigation approaches to reduce diffuse pollution from agricultural land.

Blast mines: physics, injury mechanisms and vehicle protection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Since World War II, more vehicles have been lost to land mines than all other threats combined. Anti-vehicular (AV) mines are capable of disabling a heavy vehicle, or completely destroying a lighter vehicle.

Path Planning for Reconfigurable Rovers in Planetary Exploration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper introduces a path planning algorithm that takes into consideration different locomotion modes in a wheeled reconfigurable rover. Power consumption and traction are estimated by means of simplified dynamics models for each locomotion mode ...

A Finite Element Model of Soil-Stress Probe Interaction under a Moving Rigid Wheel [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Machinery
Machinery traffic is associated with the application of stress onto the soil surface and is the main reason for agricultural soil compaction. Currently, probes are used for studying the stress propagation in soil and measuring soil stress.

Improving safety of runway overrun through the correct numerical evaluation of rutting in Cleared and Graded Areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Aircraft overrun is potentially very dangerous to human life. Statistics show that overrun is mainly due to human errors causing loss of control in wheel alignment, high approach speed, and long touchdown.

Investigation of the Effects of Tire Inflation Pressure and Forward Speed of Driven Wheel on Horizontal Impact of Passing Rectangular Obstacle

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Machinery, 2013
The tire-mechanics models have been developed for the study of wheel movement on the road or soil surface while these models are unlikely to describe the motion of wheels on uneven surfaces.

Analysis of traveling wheel on loose sandy soil (Sandy soil flow beneath a wheel due to the interaction)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017
Soil-vehicle interaction is an important factor for predicting trafficability of off-road vehicles. Tractive forces on the wheel to drive the vehicle can be estimated by soil deformation analysis around the contact area of the wheel. Sand deformation and

Predicting the wheel rolling resistance regarding important motion parameters using the artificial neural network [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Machinery, 2016
Introduction: Rolling resistance is one of the most substantial energy losses when the wheel moves on soft soil. Rolling resistance value optimization will help to improve energy efficiency.
