Soil compaction caused by agricultural vehicles is a global problem affecting a considerable
proportion of all arable land and causing tremendous costs to farmers and society. Soil …

The projected intensification of agriculture to meet food targets of a rapidly growing world
population are likely to accentuate already acute problems of soil compaction and …

Crop harvesting has been pointed as the main source of soil compaction in sugarcane fields
because of the high stresses induced by the machinery; however, little is known about the …

Subsoil compaction is persistent and affects the wide diversity of ecological services
provided by agricultural soils. Efficient risk assessment tools are required to identify …

The use of today's heavy machinery in agriculture poses a great risk to soil in the form of
compaction. Subsoil compaction has been found to persist for decades, thus reducing the …

Tractive efficiency is essential in tillage operations to optimise traction performance. In this
field experiment, the tractor performance was measured under different traction resistance …

由履带式行走机构代替轮胎被认为是减缓大型农业车辆对土壤压实的有效手段之一.
与轮胎相比, 履带具有更大的接地面积, 能够有效减小车辆对土壤的平均压力 …

Although it has been proven to be of considerable importance, it remains unclear how to
model the effect of traction on soil compaction. This study used multiple approaches to …

In a concurrent paper, we compared a continuum model and a discrete element method
(DEM) model in simulating stress transmission in soil under a wheel. Here, those models are …

Stress propagation in soil under vehicular traffic can be simulated either analytically based
on the laws of continuum mechanics or numerically using finite element (FEM) and discrete …
