AbstractThis is the second part of a paper describing a general theoretical approach for predicting the performance of rigid wheels. A theory is presented for determining both radial and tangential stresses on the soil-wheel interface, which is based on a knowledge of soil failure phenomena beneath towed rigid wheels and the principles of soil mechanics. From the analysis the towing force, skid and contact angle can be predicted on a digital computer. It is shown that the theory described can predict the performance of a towed rigid wheel with a reasonable degree of accuracy.
