Abstract: The article analyses methods for solving problems related to the compacting effect of drive systems on the support surface (soil). The analysed results of studies on the distribution of pressures and tensions in contact surfaces depend on the propulsors’ mechanical properties and the material of the support surface. The article also includes an analysis of methods for formalising contact surfaces and constructing mathematical models to determine the distribution of pressures, deformations, and tensions within these surfaces. Numerical methods for solving contact problems that have been used recently are not integral. To obtain such solutions, numerical FEM and DEM methods can be employed for a specific issue, i.e., for a problem with a known geometric data source and specific mechanical properties of the contacting body. Based on the studies conducted, it was concluded that to understand the interaction of a deforming wheel with a deformable surface, an analytical method for solving contact problems in a three-dimensional setting is the most general and productive approach. It’ll allow us to determine the geometrical dimensions and shapes of the contact spot, as well as the dependencies of the geometrical parameters of the wheel, rolling resistance, and the tension-strain state of the contacting surfaces on the loading conditions of the wheel, its mechanical properties, and the support surface.
