FEM ANALYSIS OF NINE TYNE MEDIUM DUTY CULTIVATOR

Abstract-In last few decades we all witnessed the development in each and every field. In the field of agricultural also we had seen remarkable development, big farmers are now a day’s using cultivator, harvester, tractor, advance machine tools and advance farm equipments, but in the country like India where more than 80% of farmers are small and marginal and they are still doing farming by traditional method only they are also in need of improved agricultural tools that may be hand driven or bullock driven. In this paper the FEM analysis of nine tyne medium duty cultivator is presented. Cultivator is important agricultural equipment used for soil preparation. The main objective of this analysis is to increase the life of shovel. The existing cultivator which is manufactured by local small scale manufacturer gets failed at different points after approximately one session of uses. To analyze this tyne mechanism using FEM, firstly a proper CAD model has been developed using Pro/E cad software. Then by using ANSYs software FEM analysis have been done to determine the stresses.
