Abstract
The authors propose in this research the equation to calculate the velocities, accelerations and penetration angles of the locus of lug motion for the rubber crawler mechanism. In these equations with some values of factors, motion characteristics of all points or faces of the lug in the front-half a rubber crawler. After that we also consider the reactionary force from the soil to the lug by computing the removed soil area for the purpose of understanding a relation between crawler lug and the soil in the terms of estimating trafficability.
