A study of volumetric contact modelling approaches in rigid tyre simulation for planetary rover application
Petersen, Willem; McPhee, John (Inderscience, 2014-01-01)For planetary rover applications, a volumetric contact modelling approach is used to capture the dynamics of the rigid tyre/soil interface. The volumetric contact model allows for determining closed-form expressions for ... -
A Volumetric Contact Model for Planetary Rover Wheel/Soil Interaction
Petersen, Willem (University of Waterloo, 2013-01-11)The main objective of this research is the development of a volumetric wheel-soil ground contact model that is suitable for mobile robotics applications with a focus on efficient simulations of planetary rover wheels ...
