The Simulation and Experiment Study of the Steering Qualities of the Shovel Loader with Four Tracks

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the Steering theory and running theory are introduced. Then the virtual prototype of the shovel loader with four tracks was established and the simulation study was carried out, which proves that after changing the tires into tracks, the steering qualities of the shovel loader was nearly keep the same. In the end, the experiment was done to validate the correctness of the virtual prototype. As the track conversion technology can not only keep the former vehicle’s maneuverability, but also greatly improve the vehicle’s passing ability, it has great popularize and application value
