Terramechanics and Off-Road Vehicle Engineering: Terrain Behaviour and Off-Road Mobility, Third Edition provides comprehensive coverage of terrain behavior, mechanics of wheel- and track-terrain interaction, and various types of models for cross-country performance, ranging from empirical, through theoretical, to physics-based engineering models. The physics-based models for wheeled and tracked vehicle performance developed under the direction of Prof. J.Y. Wong have been gaining increasingly wider acceptance by industry and governmental agencies. The mathematical models established for vehicle-terrain systems enable the engineering practitioner to evaluate a wide range of options and select an appropriate vehicle configuration for any given mission and environment. This long-anticipated revision presents the fields’ significant developments over the past decade, both through updates to existing chapters and the inclusion of new material related to modeling applications in addition to a notable, state-of-the-art excursus on extra-terrestrial rovers.

J.Y. Wong has been engaged in research and development in the field off-road mobility for over five decades. Many of his research findings have found wide applications in industry, including the software packages developed under his direction for predicting tracked and wheeled vehicle performance on terrestrial and extra-terrestrial terrains. In recognition of his significant contributions to the field, he has been presented with many awards by learned societies, including the George Stephenson Prize and Starley Premium Award (twice) by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, U.K. He is presently on the editorial/advisory boards of a number of leading international journals in vehicle engineering. He is an internationally recognized leading expert in the field of ground vehicle mobility.
