Abstract:The domestic cats exhibited biological characteristics such as attenuating ground impacts strongly in the process of movement. The claw pads, as the only body in contact with the ground, were the key factor affecting the realization of biological characteristics. According to the histological and contact mechanical tests of cat claw pads, the cushion mechanism of claw pads was mainly reflected in: on the one hand, the multi-layer structure of the claw pads was helpful to reduce the internal and external contact stress and strain; on the other hand, the mechanical characteristics of the claw pads in low-speed walking gait reflected the movement characteristics of front back and left right shaking deformation in the contact surface between the claw pads and the ground, which was beneficial to the exertion of the claw pads cushion energy storage. The bionic design of the tread groove wall structure in the middle area of PCR tire was carried out by using the cushion mechanism of cat paw pads which was realized by using the pattern structure design that imitated the asymmetric layout of honeycomb hexagon groove. Through the finite element simulation analysis, it found that the bionic tread pattern could effectively reduce the contact pressure deflection value and the radial excitation force between the tread and road, and improved the tread wear and vibration noise characteristics.
