Aim of study: Structural analysis of a mounted moldboard plow to redesign and optimise its frame.Area of study: Shahrekord, Iran Material and methods: In this study, a complete modeling of a three-bottom moldboard plow was conducted in Solid work 2016 and then, navy drapery fabric plow-soil interaction model developed in Abaqus 2018.The FEM-simulated draft was compared with the draft calculated by the analytical model.
Main results: The maximum stress and displacement in chassis were determined under different work conditions.The attachment points of the crossbar to the two-lower links of the three-point hitch, the middle of the bottom standard, the head points of the brace and the attachment point of the mast to the top link of the three-point hitch needed to be redesigned.As a result, higher safety factor ranging 2.
5-3 is recommended for the mentioned unsafe places.Research highlights: The obtained results could be used for further studies on the optimization of a&d ej-123 the moldboard plow frame.
