AbstractThis study focuses on the development of a methodology for the determination of some in situ parameters for off-road vehicle mobility on sandy soils. The stress field in the vicinity of and at the interface between a wedge and soil was determined by solving the stress equations using the method of characteristics. The governing equations were solved numerically by using backward finite difference method. The proposed method allows the prediction of any two of the in situ soil parameters δ, φ, and γ (respectively, the interfacial friction angle between the material of a wedge penetrometer and the soil, the internal friction angle, and the unit weight of the soil), given the value of any one of them and the results of penetration tests of two different apex angle wedges. The predictions and the measured values are in agreement.
