Shear Stress-Shear Rate-Time Relationship of Wet and Soft Soils and Its Application (Part 3)——Pull Predication for a Single Track Shoe

In order to reasonably predicate the pull of track driving device on wet and soft terrain, the pull model of track shoes is revised. The effect of shear rate on shear stress is included in the revised model. Experimental results show that the pull of a singe track shoe is approximately between the two theoretical values including and excluding grouser effect.
