Simulation of Load–Sinkage Relationship and Parameter Inversion of Snow Based on Coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian Method by Ming Zhu, Pengyu Li, Dongqing Li, Wei Wei, Jianfeng Liu, Xixing Long, Qingkai Meng, Yongjie Shu, Qingdong Yan

“…The results show the following: (1) The material cohesive, angle of friction, and hardening law of snow have great influence on the load–sinkage relationship of snow, the elastic modulus has a great influence on the unloading/reloading stiffness of snow, and the influence of density and Poisson’s ratio on the load–sinkage relationship can be ignored. (2) The correlation coefficient between the inversion result and the matching test data is 0.979, which is 0.304 higher than that of the initial inversion curve. (3) The load–sinkage relationship of snow with different snow depths and plate diameters was simulated by using the model parameter of inversion, and the results were compared with the experimental results. …”
