Fundamentals of soil action under vehicles (Part two)
NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF CANADA
ASSOCIATE COMMITTEE ON SOIL
AND
SNOW MECHANICS.TECFmICAL MEMORANDUM NO. 8
FUNDAMENTALS OF SOIL ACTION UNDER VEHICLES
(PART TWO)
ANALYZED
By
M. G. BEKKER
(Directorate of Vehicle Development
Department of National Detence.)
OTrAWA, CANADA.
ABsrRACT
This paper presents a mathematical analysis of the stability of
a model representing a wheel or track of a moving vehicle.
The proposed method of determining a trafficability curve is
based on accepted theories of Soil Mechanics and represents a
con-tinuation of the work described in Technical Memorandum No.6.
A
cohesionless medium and the stability of a single wheel or
a
single track shoe with or without grouser is alone considered.
The proposed method, however, is general in scope, and may be easily
extended over cohesive soils and several wheels and shoes.

The graphic method adopted, as well as any other similar met.ho d applicable in this field requires considerable amount of work and involves a grcD.t, deal of cumber-some computation. It appears advisable therefore, that
s. mathemat.I caj analysis of the stability of 8 model be made with the purpose of determining an approximate eq,uation of ground failureo
TIlis would not only shorten the work required for determining both types of TRAFFIGABILITY CUHVES, but 81so will form a broader basis for future discussion of the stability of vehicles and their performenceo

The results indicate that for a surcharge1<2,

By substituting these values in equations 11 and 12 the maximum drawbar pUll (H max.) and the corresponding
