Behaviour of Soil under a Lugged Wheel,
Abstract
Wheels with a narrow rim and large lugs are widely used in Southeast Asia on tractors for paddy fields. The lugs of these wheels perform one or both of the following two functions: developing tractive effort and supporting vehicle weight. A great deal of field data on the performance of these wheels have been accumulated over the years. The mechanics of this type of wheel, however, has not yet been fully elucidated. To reach a better understanding of the physical nature of the problem, an investigation into the interaction between the lugs of the wheel and the soil was carried out.
