Short summary
In this study, we established a wheel–soil coupling simulation system to simulate the interaction between the flexible metal wheels of a staffed lunar rover and the deformable terrain during a steering maneuver. This system can accurately reproduce the discontinuous characteristics of lunar soil simulant and the deformation characteristics of flexible wheels and has been used to conduct simulation experiments under Earth gravity (1g) and Moon gravity (1/6g) conditions.
