Biosystem engineering is a discipline resulting from the evolution of the traditional agricultural engineering to include new engineering challenges related with biological systems, from the cell to the environment. Modern buildings and infrastructures are needed to satisfy crop and animal production demands. In this paper a review on the status of numerical methods applied to solve engineering problems in the field of buildings and infrastructures in biosystem engineering is presented. The history and basic background of the finite element method is presented. This is the first numerical method implemented and also the more developed one. The history and background of other two more recent methods, with practical applications, the computer fluids dynamics and the discrete element method are also presented. Besides, a review on the scientific and professional applications on the field of buildings and infrastructures for biosystem engineering needs is presented. Today we can simulate engineering problems with solids, engineering problems with fluids and engineering problems with particles and get to practical solutions faster and cheaper than in the past. The paper encourages young engineers and researchers to make progress these tools and their engineering applications. The capacities of all numerical methods in their present development status go beyond the present practical applications. There is a broad field to work on it. IntroductionThe present paper is a review of the numerical methods at present and their applications in solving engineering problems. The field is too wide to be considered in a single article. This is why the paper focuses on presenting the fundamentals of the most significant numerical methods that can be applied for buildings and infrastructures areas of biosystems engineering. The three next numerical methods will be considered: i) finite element method (FEM); ii) computer fluid dynamics (CFD); iii) discrete element method (DEM).In the paper the main features of these methods will be presented along with showing some examples in areas of biosystems engineering. Modern engineering can be considered to begin with the industrial revolution in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. From the very beginning, it has used the most powerful mathematical tools of the time in order to solve problems arising in practice. It was considered a fact that it was essential acquiring solid mathematical foundations for being a good engineer. The programs of studies from all Universities of the time prove it so. Even great figures on mathematics of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were formally engineers. This symbiosis has produced good results for society. In the second half of XX Century, the fast development of computer science produced a great advance in numerical methods applied to physics and engineering.Based on this premise, the predictable future is that calculation and structural analysis in all fields of engineering will be based on modern numerical methods. This power...

This paper investigates the possibility of using a coarse finite element model with bulk material properties, to model the vertical force-displacement characteristics of a tyre, for the purpose of tyre model parameterization. The paper proves the approach on a light truck off-road tyre. The practical application is intended, however, for very large tyres where physical testing is not feasible.The paper indicates that it is feasible to obtain bulk material properties from tensile tests on specimens cut from different positions on a tyre and to use these test results to parameterize suitable non-linear anisotropic material models. The non-linear elements defined in the Neo-Hookean and Ogden models, as well as elements with differing linear orthogonal stiffnesses, are combined with each other to simulate the global material properties of the tread and sidewall of the tyre.The global behaviour of the finite element model is analysed by comparing experimental and simulation data on a flat surface as well as various lateral and longitudinal cleats. The results confirm that the finite element model can predict with acceptable accuracy the vertical force vs. displacement, as well as the sidewall deformation of the tyre under static loading conditions on a flat surface and also on various different cleats, by using equivalent (global) material properties.The approach is accurate enough to be used in the parameterization of various tyre models.

“…Static analysis is prevalent in prior agricultural tire studies. Some studies (Mohsenimanesh et al, 2009;Olmstead and Fischer, 2009) have also considered pressure distribution of the tire. Few subsequent studies have focused on the design of agricultural tires based on these analytical or empirical findings.…”

Agricultural lug tires, commonly used in tractors, must provide safe and stable support for the body of the vehicle and bear any additional load while effectively traversing rough, poor-quality ground surfaces. Many agricultural lug tires fail unexpectedly. In this study, we optimised and validated a tread design for agricultural lug tires intended to increase their durability using failure analysis. Specifically, we identified tire failure modes using indoor driving tests and failure mode effects analysis. Next, we developed a threedimensional tire model using the Ogden material model and finite element method. Using sensitivity analysis and response surface methodology, we optimised the tread design. Finally, we evaluated the durability of the new design using a tire prototype and drum test equipment. Results indicated that the optimised tread design decreased the tire tread stress by 16% and increased its time until cracking by 38% compared to conventional agricultural lug tires.
