The non-smooth surface morphology of dung beetle, Copris ochus, was analyzed. The bulldozing plates with bionic geometric non-smooth or the chemical uneven surface were designed for the soil sliding test based on the simulation of the bumpy surface of the dung beetle. Special black metals-with different contents of alloys of manganese, silicon, chromium,copper and rare earth-were developed for making geometric non-smooth and chemical uneven surfaces by means of surface welding at the surfaces of a middle carbon steel plate. Four metals, with different surface properties including hardness and water contact angle were used to make the bulldozing plates for measuring the soil sliding resistance. Test results of soil sliding resistance indicate that all the geometric non-smooth plates and the chemical uneven plates reducing soil friction.Considering the materials and surface morphology, the bionic plate can reduce the soil sliding resistance from 18.1% up to 42.2%, compared to the traditional smooth bulldozing plate made from middle carbon steel. The test results also show that the smaller the normal load, the greater effect on resistance reduction by the bionic non-smooth surface plates.
