AbstractTo determine the tractive performance of a bulldozer running on weak ground in the driven state, the relations between driving force, drawbar pull, sinkage, eccentricity and slip ratio have been analysed together with each energy balance; effective input energy, sinkage deformation energy, slippage energy and drawbar pull energy. It is considered that the thrust is developed not only on the main straight part of the bottom track belt but also on parts of the front idler and rear sprocket, and the compaction resistance is calculated from the amount of slip sinkage. For a given vehicle and soil properties, it is determined that the drawbar pull increases directly with the slip ratio and reaches about 70% of the maximum driving force. The compaction resistance reaches about 13% of the maximum driving force. The sinkage of the rear sprocket, the eccentricity, and the trim angle increase with the increment of slip ratio due to the slip sinkage. These analytical results have been verified experimentally. After determining the optimum slip ratio to obtain a maximum effective tractive power, it is found that a larger optimum drawbar pull at optimum contact pressure could be obtained for a smaller eccentricity of vehicle center of gravity and a larger track length-width ratio under the same contact area.
