... will directly affect the mining vehicle. walking performance, and it is necessary to study the sinkage performance of mining vehicles. Deep-sea mining vehicles usually use the track plate as the traveling mechanism, and the track plate is an important part of the track plate system. It is significant to study...

... has to be properly considered. To address this, a series of model track experiments was performed on the single and double model track systems under different relative densities of soil and different shape ratios (length of a track plate to a grouser depth) of the model track system. The experiment...

... distribution of grounding specific pressure of vehicle crawlers on the traction force of the vehicle were theoretically calculated. Optimization of grounding specific pressure distribution by varying numbers of support rollers as well as pitch of track plates was carried out to enhance adhesion performance...
