 | Dynamics of Wheel-Soil Systems: A Soil Stress and Deformation-Based Approach Subjects: Engineering & Technology; Electrical & Electronic Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; Transport & Vehicle Engineering; Instrumentation Measurement & Testing; Vibration; Automotive Technology & Engineering; Why is knowledge of soil stress and deformation state important for off-road locomotion? How do you measure soil stress and deformation under wheel loads? What are the actual values of stresses and deformation in soil or snow under a passing wheel? Providing answers to these questions and more, Dynamics of Wheel-Soil Systems: A Soil Stress and Defo Jaroslaw Alexander Pytka is a research engineer and instructor of undergraduate and graduate students of automotive technology at the Lublin University of Technology, Poland. Dr. Pytka earned an MS in automotive technology from the Lublin University of Technology in 1992, and a Ph.D. in soil physics from the Institute of Agrophysics in Lublin. His major research interest is wheel-soil interaction analysis with a focus on experimental studies. Dr. Pytka has authored or coauthored more than 50 papers and is a reviewer for the Journal of Terramechanics. |
