Abstract
Given the crossing-obstacle problems of wheeled vehicle on soft beaches, the changing rules with driving speeds of the crossing-obstacle ability of wheeled vehicle, soil moisture content, and soil type on soft beach ground were innovatively studied in this paper, with the hook traction force taken as the evaluating index. It showed that the RMS values of wheeled vehicle hook traction force, which was 9484N at 5 km/h and 8859N at 20 km/h, decreased with the increase in driving speed when the wheeled vehicle crossed the horizontal ditch. It collected soft beach ground soil samples and tested the parameters of mechanical properties. By considering specific structural parameters of the wheeled vehicle, this paper constructed the simulating model of the crossing obstacle ability of wheeled vehicle on the soft beach, analyzed the differences between the simulation and test result through full-scale vehicle tests. It discussed the influential factors of the crossing obstacle ability of wheeled vehicle on soft beach ground, indicated that the crossing obstacle ability of wheeled vehicle on soft beach increased with the increase of equipment’s driving speed and soil moisture content. This paper creatively proposed a method to evaluate the equipment’s off-road trafficability based on the combination of soil in-situ collection, soil tank test, dynamic simulation and experimental verification, and proposed the influencing factors and changing rules of equipment’s off-road trafficability on soft beach ground, which laid a theoretical foundation for the research on the off-road trafficability of wheeled vehicle.
