Kinematic Analysis of a Disk Working Body with a Changing Radius of Curvature

Abstract

In recent years, the improvement of the technological process of tillage is based on the use of working bodies with a curved shape of the working surface, which can increase the agrotechnical rates of tillage and reduce its energy intensity. Agricultural implements with disk working bodies are among the most common machines in agriculture. The article presents a kinematic analysis of a disk working body with a changing radius of curvature. Expressions for determining the coordinates, velocity, and acceleration of the arbitrary point on the working surface are obtained.
