ADAMS Modeling and Kinematic Analysis on Deep-plowing Machine for Tea Plantations

Applying the software, ADAMS, a virtual prototype model for a deep-plowing machine was constructed. A kinematic simulation analysis using the model to evaluate the operational characteristics including velocity and vertical displacement for tea plantations was conducted. The results suggested that the tested machine would satisfy the requirements for the purpose of deep tillage on a tea plantation. Furthermore, the information obtained could also be valuable for the design of an improved deep-plowing machine.
