Reliable assessment of soil mechanical parameters causes many problems due to its
random nature, and therefore the literature on the subject provides many techniques in this …

This article presents a review of the equipment used in the process of determining the
mechanical strength of soil, in particular with regards to the vertical loads applied. Here …

Autonomous subsurface applications (eg, construction, exploration, and environmental
monitoring) have created a need for burrowing mechanisms and robots. This study presents …

In this study a 2D FEM model was developed to analyze ruts formation, rolling resistance,
and power loss for a grape transporting cart aimed to replace the use of heavy tractors while …

This study proposes a novel approach that combines machine learning models to predict
soil compaction using the soil cone index values. The methodology incorporates support …

Accurately estimating surficial soil moisture and strength is integral to determining vehicle
mobility and is especially important over large spatial extents at fine resolutions. While …

Understanding the shear characteristics of paddy fields is of great significance for the design
of high-trafficability paddy wheels and to improve the trafficability of the tiller in paddy fields …

This study aims to investigate the influence of moisture contents and grouser heights on
traction force exerted on different surfaces in the track-soil interaction system. A sandy loam …

The soil contact model (SCM) is widely used in practice for off‐road wheeled vehicle mobility
studies when simulation speed is important and highly accurate results are not a main …

In order to determine the relationships between the soil stiffness constants of cohesive
