Depth of rut made by tracked vehicle when crossing soft ground (' sinkage') is index of difficulty experienced by vehicle; sinkage is due to plastic flow of soil under imposed stresses and can be related to shear strength of soil and characteristics of vehicle; two distinct theories are given, one by E.W.E.Micklethwait and G.G. Sherratt, based on deductive reasoning, and simpler inductive method by author.
