Stress Analysis on Tyne of Cultivator Using Finite Element Method

In this paper the FEM analysis of nine tyne cultivator is presented. Cultivator is important agricultural equipment used for soil preparation. The main objective of this analysis is to find out the failure in the shovel due to different loading condition at different speed in medium black soil. The existing cultivators which are manufactured by local manufacturers get failed at different points after approximately one session of uses. A CAD model of tyne was developed using CREO-parametric software and then by using ANSYs software FEM analysis was done todetermine the stresses. Maximum and minimum principal stresses were found to be 5.1726 and 0.20944 MPa with the total deformationof 0.076953 mm. Maximum stress did not exceed the yield point, which signified that deformation does not cause failure on the tine.
