In this paper, the Steering theory and running theory are introduced. Then the virtual prototype of the shovel loader with four tracks was established and the simulation study was carried out, which proves that after changing the tires into tracks, the steering qualities of the shovel loader was nearly keep the same. In the end, the experiment was done to validate the correctness of the virtual prototype. As the track conversion technology can not only keep the former vehicle’s maneuverability, but also greatly improve the vehicle’s passing ability, it has great popularize and application value
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
