NEVADA AUTOMOTIVE TEST CENTER (NATC)

Nevada Automotive Test Center (NATC) is a recognized leader in developmental and production tire testing for both commercial and military vehicle platforms, supported by a dedicated tire testing division. A long-time supporter of the ISTVS conference, NATC will present a talk focused on the critical mobility factors that influence ground vehicle performance. NATC website: https://natc-ht.com/

MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY

This talk will present simulations for vehicle mobility in deformable soils using Discrete Element Method (DEM) performed at the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems, Mississippi State University. Results of the DEM simulations using coarse-scale DEM soil models to predict tractive performance of a wheel in deformable soils will be shown and compared with published experimental data and empirical relationships.
