Research on soft ground vehicle intrusion law based on CDEM-MPM coupling model
Vehicles with varying loads deform soft-soil grounds, and the depth of their wheel intrusion is a crucial parameter for evaluating vehicle trafficability on soft soil. This study introduces a novel method that combines the Continuum-Discontinuum Element Method (CDEM) and Material Point Method (MPM) to create a coupling model of wheel and soft-soil interaction and simulate their interaction process. The model analyzes the relationship between different variables, including the wheel load; elastic modulus, strength parameters (cohesion and friction angle), and surface stress of the soft soil; and intrusion depth, to quantify the law of wheel intrusion depth on soft soil. The results indicate that the intrusion depth positively correlates with the wheel load, with a relative variation of approximately 179%, and negatively correlates with the elastic modulus and strength parameters in a non-linear manner, with relative variations of approximately 23% and 164%, respectively. When the wheel load is constant, the intrusion depth is more sensitive to the strength parameters of the soft soil. The three-dimensional relationship established between the strength parameters and intrusion depth provides a theoretical foundation for key parameter measurements in evaluating vehicle trafficability on soft soil.
