A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF THE FORCE SYSTEM ACTING ON A RIGID WHEEL

Abstract

Normal pressure distribution measurements under rigid wheeels operating in sand and loam are reported in this paper. The effect of frictional (tangential) forces are also considered by means of the "Friction Circle Method". Experimental results justify the practicability of the theoretical assumption made. The necessary direction of further research is outlined.
