Experimental data modelling off-road vehicle travel

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the need for experimental data modeling off-road vehicle travel specifically in clay environments. Key parameters of interest include pull, torque, shear strength of the soil, sinkage, slip, and deflection. The user is seeking raw data from past experiments to aid in understanding the complexities of soil behavior under off-road conditions. The challenge lies in the difficulty of modeling soil traction effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of soil mechanics and its properties
  • Familiarity with off-road vehicle dynamics
  • Knowledge of experimental data collection methods
  • Experience with data analysis tools for engineering applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research available datasets on soil parameters from off-road vehicle experiments
  • Explore the use of MATLAB for modeling soil-vehicle interactions
  • Investigate the principles of traction and slip in off-road conditions
  • Learn about the methodologies for measuring shear strength and deflection in soils
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for automotive engineers, soil scientists, and researchers focused on off-road vehicle performance and soil interaction analysis.

Hi everyone,
I am looking for any available experimental data which models off-road vehicle travel in clay and measures tyre and soil parameters. Parameters I am looking for include pull, torque, shear strength of the soil, sinkage, slip and deflection. If anyone knows of any available raw data from experiments which have been conducted in the past it would be of great help as I am finding it difficult to find anything of relevance!
