A simulation analysis of the strength of an innovative supporting structure of a mechanical pneumatic seed drill

Abstract eng:
In order to increase the efficiency of farming machines it is necessary to increase their size. It involves the need to apply new methods optimizing strength parameters to reduce the weight of machines without deterioration of their constructional properties. Therefore, the aim of this study was numerical analysis of an innovative construction of the supporting frame of a mechanical pneumatic seed drill. Data concerning the conditions of operation were used to prepare load characteristics. The data concerning the construction were used to prepare calculation models for the finite element method (FEM). The simulation tests and the analysis of the results provided information about the distribution of tensions in the construction of the supporting frame of the seed drill. The strength analysis is significant due to the new method of assembling the supporting frame of the seed drill.
