The interaction forces for a rigid wheel<br />
The static sinkage of a rigid object into a soft soil depends on <strong>the</strong> load on that object: Bekker [1]<br />
formulated <strong>the</strong> sinkage h of a flat plate with width b as follows:<br />
p(<br />
h )<br />
( k<br />
c<br />
/ b k<br />
<br />
) h<br />
n<br />
(11)<br />
k<br />
k<br />
in which c and are <strong>the</strong> cohesive and frictional moduli respectively, n <strong>the</strong> sinkage exponent. The<br />
static stress p is in equilibrium with <strong>the</strong> vertical force Fz.<br />
