Bevameter testing on simulant Fillite for planetary rover mobility applications
Review state
needs review
This paper examines pressure-sinkage and shearing behavior via bevameter testing of a light-weight, granular simulant called Fillite in support of laboratory modeling of rover mobility in high-sinkage
Shear bevameter testing of Fillite provided a second set of parameters to assess shear behavior, this time simulating the stresses and shear deformations imparted by rotating wheels.
Determining the values of kc, k, and n, requires curve fitting with data from a minimum of two pressure sinkage tests, each with a different plate size.
