Systematic Tire Testing and Model Parameterization for Tire Traction on Soft Soil
Tire performance over soft soil influences the performance of off-road vehicles on soft soil, as the tire is the only force transmitting element between the off-road vehicles and soil during the vehicle operation. One aspect of the tire performance over soft soil is the tire tractive performance on …
