INTRODUCTION
• Personal Interest in Military• Combat boots are issued to every solider
– Sole design is based on the terrain and intended use of the boot
![Page 3: SOLE OF A SOLDIER Rockdale Magnet School For Science and Technology Tuesday, November 17, 2015.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f2a5503460f94c44134/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
GOAL
• Design a mixed-use combat boot for the 21st century soldier who encounters deserts, mountains, and jungles
• Develop a new sole design that would out perform (have better all around traction) than currently used designs

BACKGROUND
• Ripple, Sahara, Panama, Lug, Vibram®Sierra, and Basic (ALTAMA®, 2008)
• Factors of Traction: – surface’s material properties – the macroscopic and microscopic shape or
"roughness“– force of contact– area of contact – contaminants at the materials boundary including
lubricants and adhesives– (Bowden and Tabor, 1986)

CONCLUSION
• Overall Goal: redesign a military combat boot sole that has significant all around traction for the 21st century soldier
• Prototype design outperformed the two control combat boots
![Page 18: SOLE OF A SOLDIER Rockdale Magnet School For Science and Technology Tuesday, November 17, 2015.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f2a5503460f94c44134/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ASSUMPTIONS AND SOURCES OF ERROR
• Test simulates real world applications• One of the boots reacted with the rubber
compound• Lubrication on a few of the boots while testing

FUTURE RESEARCH
• Test different sole designs – Make smaller incremental changes
• Test different sole materials – Mixture of common vulcanized rubbers?
• Work with the military to overcome government boundaries and access issues
