"Modeling Soil-Machine Interaction: Evolving Research on Evolutionary Plasticity Problems"
ABSTRACT: Problems in soil-machine interaction (SMI) are ubiquitous on Earth, and they are beginning to play important roles elsewhere as we explore and perhaps eventually colonize the moon and other planets. Irrespective of the application, SMI problems are “evolutionary plasticity problems” defined characteristically by the presence of large, plastic deformation as machine components come into contact with soils. Hambleton discusses the formulation and validation of efficient analytical and semi-analytical techniques for predicting forces and deformations in SMI problems.
