Experimental Study of the Trafficability of Agricultural Vehicles

Static Sinkage and Dynamic Sinkage of Traffic on the Flat Surface

Abstract

The author studied the reason of the difference between static linkage and dynamic sinkage of the traffic on flat surface and found that static sinkage tended to be larger than dynamic sinkage because the ground was acted for longer time in the state of standing still than in the state of travelling. This reason was interpreted by the theory of rheology of soil.
