Book Description
This interim report covers tests to determine correlation between scale-model and full-size, 4 x 4, pneumatic-tired vehicles operating in sand. Test results demonstrate that the mobility performance of prototype wheeled vehicles can be accurately predicted by tests on scale-models using the techniques described. Tire selection data for 4 x 4 vehicles are presented covering the full range of sand strengths found in nature, tire loadings from 50 lb. to 50,000 lb., and sizes from 2' to 10' in outside diameter and 0/20 to 1.00 in width/diameter ratio. Means for estimating sand strength for design purposes are also indicated. A simple relationship between tire performance in sands and dry snows is also demonstrated. (Author).
