To automate the process of harvesting crops, different types of harvesting machines are required. The most common type of machines used to automate ingathering are harvesters. The use of harvesters for collecting grain crops is rational in fields from 2 hectares. On smaller areas it is not profitable and difficult to apply. For applications in small areas, low-capacity harvesters with a throughput of the thresher up to 1 kg/s (small-sized) may be suitable. The purpose of this study is to analyze the cushioning mass control system of a low-capacity unmanned combine harvester using computer simulation, as well as the simulation of directional stability and turning. To calculate vertical vibrations in the Matlab/Simulink software package, a model of a cushioning system for a wheeled agricultural combine was prepared. In the same software package, simulation of directional stability and turning implementation was carried out. The parameters of vibration displacement, vibration velocity and acceleration, as well as the vibration frequency indicators on the operator's seat are determined. Comparison of the simulation results of the initial and corrected direction of movement of the harvester showed that for this model the maximum deviation from the planned path is a maximum of 10%, which is within acceptable limits. The maximum deviation of the harvester from the course does not exceed the permissible values, which is acceptable accuracy to ensure directional stability.

AbstractTipping elements occur in various systems such as in socio-economics, ecology and the climate system. In many cases, the individual tipping elements are not independent of each other, but they interact across scales in time and space. To model systems of interacting tipping elements, we here introduce the PyCascades open source software package for studying interacting tipping elements (10.5281/zenodo.4153102). PyCascades is an object-oriented and easily extendable package written in the programming language Python. It allows for investigating under which conditions potentially dangerous cascades can emerge between interacting dynamical systems, with a focus on tipping elements. With PyCascades it is possible to use different types of tipping elements such as double-fold and Hopf types and interactions between them. PyCascades can be applied to arbitrary complex network structures and has recently been extended to stochastic dynamical systems. This paper provides an overview of the functionality of PyCascades by introducing the basic concepts and the methodology behind it. In the end, three examples are discussed, showing three different applications of the software package. First, the moisture recycling network of the Amazon rainforest is investigated. Second, a model of interacting Earth system tipping elements is discussed. And third, the PyCascades modelling framework is applied to a global trade network.

Combine Harvesters

With the advancement of agricultural mechanization, the safety of agricultural vehicles has aroused extensive concern. However, conventional methods evaluate the performance of the combine harvesters in a laborious and inaccurate filed-test way. It is still a challenge to evaluate their performance in a theoretical derivation-based simulation way. Here, we accurately derive the braking model of the combine harvester, which provides a guidance for further braking simulation. Firstly, a four-wheel braking system was designed and theoretically checked. Secondly, the virtual prototype of the chassis braking system was established in ADAMS, in consideration of the complicated contact characteristics between the tire and the road and between the friction pad and the brake disk. Finally, simulation experiments of braking efficiency and directional stability were carried out under different braking conditions. By this means, we find a novel effective yet simple way to optimize the braking efficiency as well as the sufficient braking stability of combine harvesters. The results show that braking efficiency would be improved with stronger braking force, lower initial braking velocity, and lighter weight of the combine harvester. Compared with straight-line braking, steering braking shows lower braking efficiency and less inclination of rear wheel bounce under the same braking conditions. As for braking directional stability, the lateral slippage would be increased with the locking of rear wheels, higher driving speed, or lower road adhesion coefficient. In addition, the simulation results are in agreement with the theoretical results, proving the validity of the virtual prototype simulation. Overall, other than traditional filed-test methods, our method provides an effective yet simple way for designing and evaluating the chassis braking system of combine harvesters.

Two novel piezoelectric damping techniques (VSD and PWMD) are compared in this paper to the traditional resonant shunt damping technique and SSDV technique. In VSD, the switching shunt circuit turns ON or OFF according to the polarity of the vibration velocity of the host structure to shift the piezoelectric voltage phase. An external voltage source is connected to enlarge the voltage amplitude across the piezoelectric element and to optimize the dissipated power. The PWM shunt technique not only can decrease the audible noises more efficiently but also ensure the stability of the control system with a constant voltage source. The theoretical and the experimental results show that the piezoelectric voltage can be adaptive to the vibration displacement by the pulse widths variation, so the PWMD can stay in stable state with a constant voltage source and can still provide a very good performance.

This paper presents the study of nested rings crushed laterally between rigid platens at 2 different velocities. In this investigation two different types of nested ring configurations are analysed: (A) In-Plane; where three rings of varying diameter are placed within each other and their axes are parallel. (B) Out of-Plane; where the rings have a 90 degree orientation. Material used was cold finished, drawn over mandrel (DIN 2393 ST 37-2) and is referred throughout the paper as mild steel. The Cowper-Symonds relation was used to predict the dynamic yield stress of the rings and this was included in the FE material model. The results obtained from experiments were compared to that of finite element method using the software package Ansys. Discussion is made on the post – collapse behaviour of these systems. It was found that the Out of-Plane ring system exhibited a more desirable force-deflection response due to its 90 degree orientation.

The Impact

In order to understand the vibration characteristics of gears based on trapped-oil in external spur-gear pump, from the calculations of trapped-oil pressure and hydraulic load and contact stiffness and trapped-oil stiffness, etc., a dynamic model coupled with trapped-oil pressure was derived for the gears, then an iterative operation based on Runge-Kutta method was used for analyzing the model, therefore the data related to trapped-oil pressure and the vibration displacement and the vibration velocity were obtained in a periodic of trapped oil, and the impact of different backlash value and different distance between two unloading grooves on trapped oil pressure and dynamic characteristics of gears was briefly analyzed. All results of simulation showed that trapped-oil pressure and trapped-oil stiffness had greater impact on vibration characteristics of gears in external spur-gear pump, trapped-oil stiffness could reduce the vibration of the gears; in simulation of trapped-oil pressure, dynamic trapped-oil model related to dynamic characteristics of gears more accurate than the static trapped-oil model irrelated to dynamic characteristics of gears; the trapped-oil pressures in two trapped-oil cavity were different, the vibration characteristics of gears was better that in larger backlash value, etc.. Finally, by the trapped-oil stiffness of the external gear pump is unique, the important conclusions are educed that the vibration of gears in external spur-gear pump is indeed different from conventional gears and so on.

Using field experiments, the vibration effects of historic tower induced by planed railway line are estimated. The vibrations include the construction vibration and the traffic-induced vibration. The results show that the blasting construction leads to the significant increase in vertical velocity and acceleration. There is no difference between the background vibration of field and foundation of tower. Different types of the sites soil around the tower cause little change. Each measurement time showed an upward trend of vibration level with the increase of frequency. The closer the tower is to the vibration source, the larger the structural vibrations would be. The dominant frequency range for highway-induced vibration is 10-20Hz. For train-induced vibration, the dominant frequency range is more than 40Hz. Surface waves will result in amplification phenomenon of vibration velocity of ancient structures within a certain range.

In systems of vibration control, monitoring, diagnostics, active vibration protection, measurements and control of vibration parameters are necessary. For this, piezoelectric sensors are widely used in them as primary transducers. These sensors, due to their high metrological characteristics, such as accuracy, speed, a wide band of operating frequencies and temperatures, are traditionally used to measure vibration displacement, vibration velocity and vibration acceleration. The use of these types of sensors is necessary due to the need to measure and control vibration at objects with different frequency characteristics. The article considers possible distortions of the measured signal at the output of the sensors due to phase shifts. These phase shifts must be taken into account when developing and constructing measurement and processing schemes of the vibration signal. This is especially true when measuring and recording a rapid vibration processes, such as mechanical shock.
