Structural and Fatigue Analysis of Rotavator J-Type Blade for Vehicle Applications
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study undertakes a comprehensive analysis of a newly designed rotavator blade, employing advanced engineering material to enhance its performance and durability. The investigation focuses on static structural and fatigue analyses, aiming to optimise the strength, weight and overall efficiency. In this study, the existing J-type blades were compared with the developed model using finite element analysis, identifying stress concentrations and guiding material selection. The fatigue analysis assesses the blade's endurance under cyclic loading, simulating real-world conditions to predict and mitigate fatigue-related failures. This research provides valuable insights into selecting an appropriate design for rotavator blades, with implications for optimising the performance and longevity agricultural machinery.
