Abstract:
This article presents a review of research focused on the dynamic interaction between machines and soil in experimental soil bins. The main objective is to enhance our scientific understanding of how agricultural tools and traction devices interact with the ground during their operation. The study examines various variables, including traction force requirements, vertical and lateral forces on tools, soil failure patterns, soil particle displacement, wheel-soil boundary forces, wheel sinkage, shear resistance, estimation of wheel-soil contact area, and stress at different depths in the designed soil warehouses for agricultural and traction experiments. These soil warehouses act as soil models and can be filled with different types of soil. One component of the soil bin is the carrier, responsible for modeling the traction mechanism, while the power source and driving system provide the necessary force for the carrier's movement. The laboratory also includes soil preparation equipment and a motion transfer system for the carrier along the soil bin rail. Additionally, the soil bin is equipped with a data acquisition system used for real-time measurement, analysis, and visualization of data. Researchers often employ numerical simulation methods along with validation through experimental tests to study machine-soil interactions. The results of these studies greatly aid in the design, modeling, prediction, performance evaluation, and optimization of various non-road vehicles and traction factors.
