| Authors:
Johnnie W. Colburn Jr.; Ronald J. Mathis; SOUTHWEST RESEARCH INST SAN ANTONIO TEX
|
 | The objective of the contract was to demonstrate that repetitive fuel/air explosions would augment the rock-fracturing capabilities of a standard D7F Caterpillar tractor with a parallelogram-type ripper. A standard D7 Caterpillar tractor with ripper was modified to incorporate a means of discharging high-pressure combustion gases near the point of ripper penetration of a rock formation. Testing of the D7/REDSOD Ripper was performed in two distinct types of Edwards Group Limestone. ... |

| In anticipation of the growing need for various types of seafloor-crawling vehicles, problems of seafloor trafficability and of its prediction are outlined. The qualitative comparison between trafficability-related land and seafloor features showed that soft-soil mobility is the central problem for seafloor-crawling vehicles. Therefore, the soft-soil mobility problem was given the strongest emphasis within the state-of-the-art review, which includes a discussion of existing seafloor-crawling vehicles. The relative merits of the existing ... |
