초록

Fertilizer impaction mechanism was simulated using a commercial program RecurDyn$^{(R)}$ a dynamic program that could handle contact problems. Even if there had been numerous papers on modeling of fertilizer applicator, the performance predictions were not satisfactory due to simplification in modeling. The most significant simplification was assumption of fertilizer particles as a solid particle. The assumption would eliminate rotation of fertilizer particles during the impaction mechanism. However, impaction of rotating body would be different from that of a solid particle. This paper introduced how the impaction was modeled using RecurDyn$^{(R)}$. In order to simulate, restitution coefficient and contact time was measured. A stiffness coefficient and a damping coefficient of a fertilizer was theoretically estimated using the measured data. Validity of the simulation result was not proved yet, but judged to be promising.ged to be promising.ing.
