Opis

Predicting tyre-soil interface pressures distributions that are based on experimental findings is a significant aspect of soil compaction. Applied Tyre-Soil Mechanics with ANSYS@ Application provide transportation, mechanical and agricultural engineering student and practitioner with processes to applying the finite element method to tyre-soil interaction. This book explains how to accurately measure the in-situ pressure patterns on the tyre-soil interface under dynamic wheel mode on a soft soil. It also describes the developing of a Finite Element model of a modern tractor tyre including the cord angles in each layer, the thickness of the individual rubber layers and nearly incompressible property of the tread rubber block on a rigid surface and multi- layered soft soil by considering the variability of the soil material. Topics covered include: • Wireless data acquisition system • Field test • tyre-soil interface pressures • 3D tyre footprint • Tyre and soil material properties • ANSYS Finite element software • Soil compaction
