Tillage involves various complex mechanisms of mechanical disturbance of the soil, aimed
to advance its physical structure by creating relevant conditions for growing crops Quality …

The mobility of vehicles in off-road environments is critical for many applications. Predicting
the tire-soil interaction is a challenge, especially in non-linear deformable terrain. This paper …

Soil compaction by tires of agricultural machinery severely affects field crop growth. In this
study, nonpneumatic tires (NPT) were used in agricultural machinery. Experimental …

The establishment of a dynamic model of distributed driving unmanned ground vehicle
(DDUGV) is the premise of vehicle state identification and high-quality control. However, due …

Modern agricultural production requires research for new design and layout plans of the
track-chained mover, providing a reduction in soil compaction. One of many ways to improve …

Crop harvesting has been pointed as the main source of soil compaction in sugarcane fields
because of the high stresses induced by the machinery; however, little is known about the …

Soil compaction caused by agricultural vehicles is a global problem affecting a considerable
proportion of all arable land and causing tremendous costs to farmers and society. Soil …

Numerical simulation allows the modeling of soil compaction by showing the changes in the
soil's initial stress state due to external forces, such as vehicle traffic. Thus, the objective of …

In the present study, the effect of vertical load, tire inflation pressure and soil moisture
content on power loss in tire under controlled soil bin conditions were investigated. Also a …

The discrete element method (DEM) is an appealing technique to study the effect of wheel
loads and traction on the soil. Unlike in continuum-based soil mechanics, the soil is …
