STATIC STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF AN ADVANCED POWER TILLER CHASSIS AND CHISEL PLOUGH

The rapid increase in industrialization and technology has shifted the agriculture sector into themodern era, which also resulted in labor scarcity and rise in investment. In developing countries like India, there are 89% of total land holdings of less than 3 hectares. A normal farmer can't afford the huge amount of labour and machinery, and to overcome this uncertainty, light duty agriculture vehicles are developed. In this paper, an advanced power tiller of 8HP power is designed and modeled. The main objective of this paper is to design the vehicle chassis and integrate various components, analyze the motion. In this paper, optimal design of a plough to be used is designed and modeled. For vehicle analysis and modelling, CATIA V5R20 and ANSYS 18.2 are used.
