In this study, we aimed to process the biomimetic function surface by designing a prototype for modeling the pits on a dung beetle body and the abdomen of a desert viper, and by using high speed milling and controlling the ratio of row spacing to feed rate. Firstly, we conducted three-dimensional parametric modeling and static analysis of the bionic functional surface using 3D modeling software UGNX (12.0, SIEMENS AG, Munich, Germany) and finite element analysis software ABAQUS (2018, Dassault, Providence, RI, USA). Then, the analysis results were imported into the fatigue life analysis software nCode (2018, HBM United Kingdom Ltd., South Yorkshire, UK) to simulate the fatigue characteristics of different bionic pit morphology models. Per the simulated tensile fatigue testing machine, the result shows that the minimum fatigue life value of the quadrilateral pit surface of the simulated dung beetle is one and four times higher than the hexagonal pit morphology and the irregular pit morphology, respectively, whereas the maximum fatigue damage is lower by one and five orders of magnitude, respectively. The quadrilateral pit surface on the biomimetic dung beetle body has better fatigue resistance, which can considerably improve the fatigue damage distribution state and the fatigue life of hardened steel die surfaces. The influential regulation of milling parameters on fatigue performance was studied and the results show that the fatigue resistance of the model is optimal when milling parameters are: row spacing of 0.4 mm, loading space of 0.2 mm, and milling depth of 0.3 mm. The quadrilateral dimensions formed by milling are highly similar to those of a dung beetle body proving that a certain reduction in milling process depth can increase the structural fatigue resistance. From the perspective of fatigue crack growth analysis, the quadrilateral dimples on the surface of the dung beetle improve fatigue crack growth inhibition and fatigue resistance.
