Development of a Digital Model of the Agricultural Tool Working Element

The digital twin is a virtual model of the agricultural tool working element that allows you to calculate and predict its expected behavior during the entire period of operation.

(Research purpose) To develop an algorithm for consistent models that make up the digital twin of the agricultural tool working element.

(Materials and methods) The fi rst component of the digital twin algorithm was determined by the method of accelerated imitation loading of the wedgelock ripper working element, which was accepted as the research object. The second component was determined by testing various soils with the specifi cation of power equivalents. The physical and mechanical properties of soils and materials (hardening) for the manufacture of working elements were taken into account during the description of the following components.

(Results and discussion) The author showed that the algorithm for constructing a digital twin of the agricultural tool working element consisted from a chain of successive actions and was a system for digital description of the working element, which ensured the standard lifetime during operation. The results of a simulated immersion which registered the nature of the normal forces distribution over the friction surfaces were accepted as the fi rst component of the algorithm. The second component – the results of determining the force equivalent when loading the working element in a real soil environment. The possibility of constructing maps of the intensity of the friction surface abrasive wear, predictive calculations of structural elements was revealed. The third and fourth components were used to ensure the working element standard lifetime, based on the minimum production costs, correlated to the standard resource unit of development.

(Conclusions) The resulting algorithm for constructing a digital twin is a convenient tool for creating new designs of agricultural tools working elements.
