The phenomenon of soil adhesion exists when soil is in contact with a solid interface. At the
interface, the sliding resistance is dependent on the adhesion, the stress normal to the …

The effects of wollastonite fiber additions and, particularly, the surface modification of the
wollastonite fibers, on the sliding wear behavior of the ultra-high molecular weight …

Dung beetles can break up dung pads and compact dung into balls and their cuticle
surfaces do not stick dung or soil. The geometrical features of some dung beetles and …

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites filled with wollastonite
fibers of aspect ratios 10: 1, 15: 1 and 20: 1 have been prepared. The wollastonite fibers …

Adhesive forces exist between soil and the surfaces of soil-engaging components on a
variety of terrain machines including tillage and sowing machines. This phenomenon of soil …

The capacity of soil-burrowing animals to move freely in sticky soil is a motivational trait for
developing soil-engaging tools with high operational efficiency. Meanwhile, outstanding …

To reduce the resistance and energy consumption of disc furrow openers, biomimetic
coupling disc furrow openers (BCDFOs) that were inspired by digging animals (eg, the …

The phenomenon of soil adhesion occurs often when machines interact with soil. Adhesion
increases the working resistance and energy consumption of cutting or tillage tools and …

Today, the development of high-efficiency tillage implements which can meet the
requirements of modern agriculture in energy consumption is a matter of great importance …

The effects of biomimetic designs of tine furrow opener surface on equivalent pressure and
pressure in the direction of motion on opener surface against soil were studied by finite …
