Özet

In the events that require rapid mobilization of off-road vehicles, it is crucial to have a method that would allow the quick evaluation of the possibility of vehicle mobility in off-road conditions. Accordingly, this paper proposes a method that is based on the limit equilibrium of soil under the loading conditions imposed by an accelerating vehicle. The goal is to reduce the problem to the familiar bearing capacity problem and to introduce mobilization factors that are based on the vehicle, soil, topography and motion variables. This is achieved by adapting seismic bearing capacity equations to vehicle-soil interaction problems. © 2009 IOS Press.
