Abstract
Discrete element modeling for the development of a real-time soil model in a virtual reality environment was presented. The proposed discrete element method was based on neural networks, which described the instantaneous motion of particles in a mass of granular material. Movements of delineated zones of soil mass and the forces exerted on earthmoving equipment were tracked. Results indicated the effectiveness of the modified discrete element approach for modeling soil response to earthmoving equipment.
