Innovating earthmoving mechanics for next-generation infrastructure

该项目的目标是为土壤中的耕作和切割过程开发严格的、基于力学的模型，这是在澳大利亚和世界范围内大规模进行的土方作业的核心。该项目旨在将最先进的物理模拟与开发创新的数值模拟技术相结合，以阐明和预测力和变形在二维和三维过程中的完全不稳定发展。该项目旨在通过促进对土壤如何移动和成型的科学理解，帮助提高土方作业的生产率、效率和总体成本效益。

The objective of this project is to develop rigorous, mechanics-based models for ploughing and cutting processes in soils, which lie at the heart of earthmoving operations occurring on an enormous scale within Australia and worldwide. This project intends to integrate state-of-the-art physical modelling with the development of innovative techniques for numerical modelling to elucidate and predict the full unsteady progression of forces and deformations in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional processes. This project aims to help to increase the productivity, efficiency, and overall cost-effectiveness of earthmoving operations by advancing the scientific understanding of how soils are moved and shaped.
