Wheel Sinkage

Wheel Sinkage is a mechanical interaction phenomenon in terramechanics characterized by the downward deformation of a wheel into a soft terrain surface during motion, distinguishing it from other wheel-terrain interaction effects by its direct dependence on normal load, soil strength, and wheel geometry.
