This paper presents a review of soil-machine interaction studies in soil bin test facilities; it
provides an insight on the historical background, concepts, past and present studies and …

The purpose of the research is to develop a model of the technological process of tillage,
justify the initial and boundary conditions for the functioning of the model and determine the …

Traditional modeling methods for digging load of excavators are often computationally
expensive and require prior knowledge of soil parameters, which severely limits their …

Tractor wheel slippage is a critical parameter for fuel consumption and field performance
and should not exceed 15%. Several attempts have been made to study the wheel slippage …
