Modeling and FEM Analysis of Shovel of 5-Tyne Duck Foot Cultivator

Abstract

For soil preparation Cultivator is important agricultural equipment. As an important agriculture equipment for soil preparation cultivator is used in which stress are form due to contact with soil where tyne and shovel works as actual member of cultivator which is direct contact with soil. We can reduce the stress from changing the design of tine or shovel of cultivator. The main objective of this analysis is to analyze the forces developed on shovel during operation. To analyze this Shovel using FEM, firstly a proper CAD model has been developed using CATIA cad software. Then by using ANSYs software FEM analysis have been done to determine the stresses.
