Abstract

Tillage productivity refers to energy consumption or soil strength or soil elasticity and quality. Tillage forces mainly report soil mechanical properties, tool performance parameters (depth and velocity) and tool geometry. In this paper we report numerical soil modeling. The finite element method (FEM) was used to model the cutting process of this soil using a tillage blade. The surface geometry of the tillage blade was designed and plotted in SolidWorks; And this form was sent to the Abaqus environment for analysis; An elastic and plastic model was used for soil. In Abaqus software the tillage blade was considered as a discrete rigid material with a reference point on the tip of the tillage blade. At this point the reaction force was calculated with its three orthogonal components. And these forces were examined at different depths and widths.
