OPTIMIZING THE FORMS AND DIMENSIONS OF A FIELD CULTIVATOR WORKING KNIVES

Abstract

The paper presents some considerations regarding the optimisation of working bodies of a field cultivator for soil preparation also known as combiner. Calculations in deformable body mechanics, thermal conduction, dynamic analysis, etc. lead to global systems of equations with many unknowns. The solution of these equation systems is dependent on the electronic computer, which have a great deal of efficiency compared to the matrix formulations of the problems.
