... and the soil properties are essential. For this reason a method is presented to deduct soil mechanical parameters from the actual operation data of the vehicle. A brief introduction of the calculation of the vehicles' traction force and driving resistances is given. Furthermore, an overview is presented about...

... consisting of 9 triangular types and 9 blade types. The grouser span is kept constant. Cohesive soil of seabed is mod- eled by means of benthonite-water mixture. Sinkage and traction forces are evaluated for each grouser model with respect to changes of relative bealing pressure to the residual shear...
