Influence analysis of terramechanics on conceptual design of manned lunar rover's locomotion system

摘要

Based on wheel-soil interaction terramechanics, locomotion system configuration of manned lunar rover is analyzed to get better trafficability, maneuverability and terrainability performance by this quantitative and qualitative analysis. The influence of the main parameters of lunar soil, wheel loading and terrain conditions on configuration parameters of the chassis and wheels is discussed. The results of this study could provide methods of conceptual design for manned rover's locomotion system in deformable rough lunar terrain.
