Numerical simulation of tractive performance for planetary rover vehicle wheel by discrete element method

  • The numerical simulation for wheel-soil interaction was conducted by discrete element method (DEM) where the grouser-sections of wheels were rectangle, rec-trapezia, and triangle respectively. The distribution of contact reaction for soil particles was analyzed in the granular scales when they are disturbed by different lugged-wheel configurations. The relationship between microscopic results of DEM and macroscopic parameters of tractive performance was built by means of coordinates transformation and algebraic summation. The formulae of soil thrust, motion resistance and drawbar pull were derived respectively in order to study the influence of grouser-section shape upon tractive performance of wheel. The calculated results show that the wheel with rec-trapezia-section grousers possesses the best tractive performance among the three kinds of lugged-wheel configurations in the same traveling condition.
