Similitude approach to earthmoving was taken by Research Dept of Caterpillar Tractor Co using small-scale models based on dimensional analysis with certain simplifying assumptions; model characteristics and evaluation; development of model laboratory at proving ground at Peoria and details of main facilities consisting of small soil bin and 2 parallel larger bins, designed for study of mechanics of earthmoving; advantages of using scale models in basic studies of soil/machine relationships, and comparative tests of configurations and operating conditions; scope is limited to processes of cutting and loading soil.
