Abstract
Based on observing and analyzing the typical soil animals, the flexibl e unsmoothness is defined, which is the moving unsmoothness macle by t he flexible deformation of the structural units, and its characteristi cs oi reducing adhesion and resistance is analyzed. The tests show tha t on the same conditions, compared with 45 Steel, the adhesion of the field-mouse's fur is reduced by about 35 %, its sliding resistance is reduced by about 80 %.
