Detailed data on research infrastructure/laboratory:
- Description and data on research infrastructure/laboratory:
This laboratory houses the largest and most financially demanding device built at the department – a soil test channel. The device is primarily used for research in the field of mechanics of interaction of tire wheels with soil, but after certain modifications it can also be used in the field of research of tracked chassis as well as in the field of research of interaction of tools for soil separation with soil. The device allows to carry out research mainly on smaller agro-forestry tires up to a diameter of 800 mm and a width of approx. 500 mm. The drive of the tested wheel is provided by an electric motor with a power of 7.5 kW with a gear mechanism with a gear ratio of 81.2, which allows to achieve a driving force of the wheel up to 10 kN. The vertical load of the tested tires is at a value of max. 1500 kg. -
List of equipment:
Soil test channel. -
Reasoning for uniqueness/strategic importance:
The soil test channel is a specialized device for research in the field of mechanics of movement of mobile working machines. It is currently focused primarily on the interaction of wheeled running gear with forest soil. The purpose of the research on the device in question is to monitor energy and ecological factors when a pneumatic wheel rolls over forest soil. The results obtained can subsequently reduce the mechanical and ecological load on productive forest soils. -
Assigning research infrastructure to one or more research areas:
Mechanical engineering – research into the mechanics of movement of mobile work machines.
