| Research Abstract |
Applying the Distinct Element Method, which is one of promising methods to analyze behaviors of granular material assembly, the following trials were done to simulate the interactions between machine and soil. It was shown that the rational design of machine part would be realyzed using the DEM, if the adequate parameters were found. The interactions were : 1. tri-axial compression, 2. track shoe and soil, 3. tire lug and soil, 4. rotary blade and soil, 5. subsoiler and soil. Furthermore, three-dimensional DEM program was constructed according to the real world dimension. The problem that the computation time increases very much in the case of three-dimensional DEM should be solved hereafter.
The final report was written in English with the following contents :
