Abstract. Our poor prediction capability on the sinkage and rolling resistance of wheels originates in the unreliable description of soil properties and the soil-wheel interaction. Some improvements in both have shown that the theoretical calculations may give results comparable with experimental observations. To determine soil properties, the "two wheel measuring method" is suggested. Further improvement possibilities have also been outlined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
