Evolutionary multi objective optimization for bulldozer and its balde in soil cutting

Abstract

A bulldozer is one of the construction equipment which has a tractor engine for supplying power and a metallic blade in its front for soil cutting A bulldozer experiences enormous resistance due to adhesion cohesion and friction between soil and blade Many studies in the literature focused on determining the cutting force on a blade and observing effect of various input parameters on the force Except for a few handful studies an effort has not been made to make the soil cutting operation
