introduction main part of energy consumption in agricultural mechanization is tillage operations therefore optimization of energy consumption in tillage operation is very important. a management method for system to optimize in agriculture is simple additive weighting (saw) methodology that this method can operate according to criteria of the systems. this method states that, which system has b...

The field experiment was carried out in one of the agricultural fields Nineveh Governorate for season (2019) soil texture a silty loam to study performance locally manufactured chisel plow shares at two levels moisture and depths tillage, research included studying (13-15%) (17-19%) tillage are (12-14) cm (15-17) three types (conventional share, spearhead share severed share) there effect on so...

The scientific and effective prediction of drawbar pull is of great importance in the evaluation of military vehicle trafficability. Nevertheless, the existing prediction models have demonstrated lots of inherent limitations. In this framework, a multiple-kernel relevance vector machine model (MkRVM) including Gaussian kernel and polynomial kernel is proposed to predict drawbar pull. Nonlinear ...

This paper considers wheeled vehicles traversing unknown terrain, and proposes an approach for identifying the unknown soil parameters required for vehicle driving force prediction (drawbar pull prediction). The predicted drawbar pull can potentially be employed for traversability prediction, traction control, and trajectory following which, in turn, improve overall performance of off-road whee...

this study investigated the status of mechanized power and self-propelled rice cultivation machinery in guilan province in northern iran. the raw data was obtained from 2013 statistics of the agricultural jihad organization of guilan province. power per unit of area, mechanization level, area per unit of self-propelled machinery, and mechanization requirement were calculated for eastern, wester...

 Area Department AgFE, Indian Institute Technology, Kharagpur, India
 Material methods: Commercial S-type transducers were packed laterally in betwee...

the chisel plow is one of the tillage implements utilized to carry out conservation tillage practices; therefore, it is valuable to pay more attention on the force requirement of this implement. to achieve this goal, a theoretical model was developed to calculate draft, specific draft, and drawbar power of a chisel plow. then, results obtained from the developed model were compared with the rep...

a prototype of a straw chopper, equipped with a discharge system was designed and fabricated in the department of mechanics of agricultural machinery, university of tehran, karaj, iran. to test for the effective performance of the machine, the effects of such parameters as: drum speed (at three levels of: 400, 540, and 800 rpm), screen size (at two levels: 2.5 and 4 cm), and number of blades on...

Establishing an automatically controlled system to obtain a maximum productivity of a bulldozer running on a weak terrain, the total traffic performance of a tracked vehicle could be clarified by use of a microcomputer in robotics from initial informations of terrain material and vehicle dimensions, Here, an useful estimation method of terrain properties : cohesion, angle of internal friction, ...
