W-Face 2014
Focus of the event:
1) Collaborate on a pre-competitive basis to identify and investigate modeling, simulation, and validation techniques that place us collectively in a position to address machine-ground interaction grand challenges, including the following:
a) Accurate and efficient terrain/soil modeling
b) Tire modeling for off-road analysis
c) Characterization of vehicle/terrain interaction for wheeled and tracked vehicle mobility
d) Characterization of implement/terrain interaction for applications such as digging, drilling, etc.
2) Serve as a forum that aligns academic research with industry needs
3) Facilitate university-to-industry technology transfer
4) Train a new generation of engineers in theoretical, computational, and practical aspects related to the topic of machine ground interaction.
