Abstract

A new test apparatus was developed for the precise measurement of mechanical properties related to the traveling performance of off-road vehicles. In particular the apparatus is capable of performing the experiment under the condition of constant contact load between the wheel and the soil, which most of the existing apparatus do not fulfill satisfactorily, and of measuring the displacement of soil particles beneath the wheel. The test results obtained by the apparatus for a rigid wheel on sand are discussed with some mechanical interpretations.
