The preliminary study is required for measurement of deflection in agricultural discs to check a fatigue life of agricultural discs and to know whether or not an agricultural disc is fit to be used in the field. The discs are used as soil engaging component in different agricultural machinery. Being the soil engaging component, discs wear out faster than other components and they have to be replaced very often. To ensure interchangeability, necessary dimensions, the method of testing and prescribed limits for deflection characteristics is major concern. A minimum of 3 agricultural discs chosen out of 10 for ensuring the deflection characteristics and a series of test was conducted on universal testing machine to evaluate deflection and result was compared with computational simulation software ANSYS workbench.

Abstract


The preliminary study is required for measurement of deflection in agricultural discs to check a fatigue life of agricultural discs and to know whether or not an agricultural disc is fit to be used in the field. The discs are used as soil engaging component in different agricultural machinery. Being the soil engaging component, discs wear out faster than other components and they have to be replaced very often. To ensure interchangeability, necessary dimensions, the method of testing and prescribed limits for deflection characteristics is major concern. A minimum of 3 agricultural discs chosen out of 10 for ensuring the deflection characteristics and a series of test was conducted on universal testing machine to evaluate deflection and result was compared with computational simulation software ANSYS workbench.
