Abstract

In this paper, reverse engineering technique was employed to extract the ridges of the hoof ball contour, and hoof ball tissue structure was analyzed based on the bionic prototype of goat hooves. The quantified geometric features were used to design the bionic track shoe pattern, which can enhance its adhesive performance and solve the problem that agricultural tracked vehicles in hilly and mountainous areas are prone to slip due to poor adhesive performance. The monolithic structure of the biomimetic goat hoof track shoe pattern and the ordinary one-line track pattern were arranged and combined; they included six kinds of track shoe models and the adhesive performance was compared. A discrete element system was established based on soil parameter determination to compare the maximum adhesion of different track shoe models. The bionic track shoe samples were prepared for soil bin tests to verify the reliability of the discrete element analysis results. Compared with the ordinary track shoe, the adhesion of the optimal bionic track shoe was improved by 9.1%.
