Basic Properties of Sinkage and Shearing

Description

The soil link interaction model based on Bekker, Janosi, and McKyes approaches. The soil mechanics parameter required for the sinkage and shearing forces model are provided below. For additional details, see appendix A and the theoretical manual.

Parameters

KCB
(REAL)
kc of Bekker.
KPHIB
(REAL)
kΦ of Bekker.
NB
(REAL)
n of Bekker.
CB
(REAL)
C of Bekker.
APbasic
(REAL)
The plasticity factor 0≤AP≤1.
KJbasic
(REAL)
k of Janosi.
RJbasic
(REAL)
r of modified Janosi.
JMAXbasic
(REAL)
jmax of modified Janosi.
If JMAXbasic<0, then JMAXbasic=|JMAXbasic|*link length and link length=length1+length2+length4
JULTbasic
(REAL)
ju of modified Janosi, if JULTbasic<0, then JULTbasic=|JULTbasic|*link length.
ASbasic
(REAL)
The plasticity factor of the shearing 0≤AS1≤1.
The factor is used to simulate the plasticity effect using Janosi equation.
AMbasic
(REAL)
The plasticity factor of the grouser force 0≤AM≤1.
