Modelling wheel-soil interactions using the discrete element method for tread shape optimization
The structure of a wheel intended for lunar applications requires an innovative design because of the Moon's specific environment. As in-situ prototype testing is obviously unfeasible, testing can only be conducted on lunar simulant soils, or through simulations. This study presents wheel-soil...
