In agricultural machinery design and optimization, the discrete element method (DEM) has
played a major role due to its ability to speed up the design and manufacturing process by …

The study of deformable soils is one of the key factors in determining the tire, vehicle and/or
agricultural tool design parameters. This literature review provides a brief overview of soil …

Modelling of the tillage process by working tools based on the method of discrete elements
is currently the most promising. The results of modelling the processing process obtained by …

Commercial potato harvester is inefficient in harvesting Jerusalem artichokes due to the vast
development area of tubers in the soil and the wide-ranging sizes and shapes, some …

The discrete element method has recently become a popular tool for developing soil models
to be used for modelling the tillage process, which involves using working tools. The …

Prediction of a precise subsoiling using an analytical model (AM) and Discrete Element
Method (DEM) was conducted to explain cutting forces and the soil profile induced changes …

In organic fertilizer application, it is difficult for existing chain-type fertilizer transport devices
to cut and break organic fertilizer blocks during operation. The fertilizer transport process …

To reveal the interaction between plough and wet adhesive soil, it's essential to establish an
accurate coupling model of the soil-plough system. Traditional Edinburgh elasto-plastic …

Conventional soil-tool interaction has been upgraded to straw-soil-tool interaction due to
plenty of straw remains in the field after harvesting. Understanding the straw-soil-tool …

The rotary tillage knife roller, as one of the typical soil-touching parts of the tillage equipment
cutting process, is in direct contact with the soil. During the cutting process, there are …
