The study of deformable soils is one of the key factors in determining the tire, vehicle and/or agricultural tool design parameters. This literature review provides a brief overview of soil classification, soil testing, soil constitutive models, and numerical approaches utilized to model soil-tire/tool interaction. In the past, empirical, semi-empirical, and analytical soil models were used in these studies. However, some limitations occurred in terms of characterization of soil-tire/tool interaction in detail due to a large number of variables such as cohesion, moisture content, etc. In the last few decades, the finite element (FE) method was used with different formulations such as Lagrangian, Eulerian, and Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian to simulate the soil-tire/tool interaction. Recently, particle-based methods based on continuum mechanics and discrete mechanics started to be employed and showed good capability in terms of modeling of soil deformation and separation. Overall, this literature review provides simulation researchers insights into soil interaction modeling with tires and agricultural tools.

可变形土壤的研究是确定轮胎、车辆和/或农具设计参数的关键因素之一。本文献综述简要概述了土壤分类、土壤测试、土壤本构模型以及用于模拟土壤-轮胎/工具相互作用的数值方法。过去，这些研究使用了经验、半经验和分析土壤模型。然而，由于存在大量变量，如粘聚力、含水量等，在详细表征土壤-轮胎/工具相互作用方面存在一些局限性。在过去的几十年里，有限元（FE）方法被使用不同的公式，如拉格朗日、欧拉和任意拉格朗日欧拉来模拟土壤-轮胎/工具的相互作用。最近，基于连续介质力学和离散力学的粒子方法开始被采用，并在土壤变形和分离建模方面表现出良好的能力。总体而言，这篇文献综述为模拟研究人员提供了对轮胎和农具与土壤相互作用建模的见解。
