Contributions to Soil Resistance Mapping for Increasing Parts Durability for Agricultural Machinery

Abstract:

The Paper Presents a Study Conducted by the Authors for Mapping of Soil Resistance According to Depth and Space. the Determination of Penetration Resistance Pressure of the Soil was Done in Field, with a Penetrograph, and the Experimental Data were Statistically Analyzed, in Order to Assess the Loading Regimes Faced by the Active Organs of Agricultural Machinery while Working for Soil Processing, for Estimating the Influences on their Durability. A Durability Case Study on a Real Reversible Chisel Type Cultivator Blade was also Conducted, Using a 3D Finite Element Solid Model and Two Classical 2D Models in Order to Determine its Fatigue Response, Using as Loads the Determined Soil Resistance Pressure.
