Terramechanics is the study of soil properties, specifically the interaction of wheeled or tracked vehicles on various surfaces ... In this discipline, the "vehicle" usually refers to off-road vehicles, which could run on nonpaved road. The "ground" means the constituent geometric obstacles formed by soil and rock which could bear vehicles and generate adhesion function. 1, record 1, English, - terramechanics
