Abstract: The walking process of the cattle, bostaurus, on paddy field before spring plowing was captured by the high-speed photography. The properties of the paddy soil and geometrical configurations of the hooves were studied. The geometrical configurations and motion postures of the cattle during walking on paddy field were analyzed, and the gait parameters were gained from the high-speed photographs. The inverse kinetics method was used to establish the kinematics equations of the cattle during walking on paddy field. Combined with the calculation results, the plots of the cattle during walking were drawn. The changes of displacement, velocity, acceleration and force were analyzed, and then the characteristics of the cattle during walking on paddy field were discussed. The method reported would provide certain theoretical and practical references for bionic design for improving the reasonable motion of the walking mechanisms on soft ground. |
Transactions of the Chinese Society for Agriculture Machinery (CSAM), in charged of China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), sponsored by CSAM and Chinese Academy of Agricultural Mechanization Science(CAAMS), started publication in 1957. It is the earliest interdisciplinary journal in Chinese which combines agricultural and engineering. It always closely grasps the development direction of agriculture engineering disciplines and the published papers represent the highest academic level of agriculture engineering in China. Currently, nearly 8,000 papers have been already published. There are around 3,000 papers contributed to the journal each year, but only around 600 of them will be accepted. Transactions of CSAM focuses on a wide range of agricultural machinery, irrigation, electronics, robotics, agro-products engineering, biological energy, agricultural structures and environment and more. Subjects in Transactions of the CSAM have been embodied by many internationally well-known index systems, such as: EI Compendex, CA, CSA, etc.
