Vehicle-Snow Interaction: Modeling, Testing and Validation

Abstract

Outline of briefing charts: Part I - Back ground, snow mechanics, experimental procedure, tribometer for indentation, plowing, sliding tests; 3d x-ray microtomography for microstructure, numerical modeling procedure, typical results (indentation, plowing, compression, tension, penetration). Part 2 - Vehicle-snow interaction, Alaska Instrumental Vehicle and profilometers, validation of models.
