Principles of locomotion mechanics and methods of approach for locomotion problems that might exist on planets or moon; performance of locomotion system depends on stress strain relationships that exist in given terrain in vertical and horizontal direction to provide thrust, and surface geometry of terrain; equations combining terrain and locomotive system characteristics are presented, enabling calculations to be made of performance criteria such as thrust, motion resistance, sinkage, slope climbing ability, etc; examples based on assumed lunar soil properties.
