Model of the interaction of elements of track supporting surface of harvester with soil

Abstract

Analytical description of the interaction between the tracks with soil is quite difficult, although to date the physical and mechanical properties of soils are fairly well understood. However, the application of the laws of soil mechanics to describe the interaction of track with soil is not acceptable because of loading dynamism of soil with elements of track bearing surfaces. Therefore, to describe the process of interaction of track with soil the experimental data are used, which revealed some general patterns.
