Abstract: Agricultural land preparation cost has increased to a new high label due to increase in fossil fuel prices. This
directly increases the cost of food. Demand of food also increases due to high population rise and smaller land sizes
due to fragmentation of land. So farmers are more interested to reduce the land preparation cost and increase the yield.
Due to these facts, preparation of seedbeds for deep tillage in conventional tillage system, particularly in Indian
farming, the situation is worsening day by day. This system of tillage escalates land preparation costs because it
requires a series of operations using passive tillage tools to realize an acceptable till quality. It also ties down capital in
the form of additional machinery and tillage tools; thus increasing significantly the cost of land preparation. Rotary
tiller or rotavator is a tillage machine most suitable for seedbed preparation. In a Rotary tiller, Blades are the main
critical parts which are engaged with soil to prepare the land. These blades interact with soil in a different way than
normal plows which are subjected to impact and high friction that creates unbalancing and non-uniform forces which
result in blade wear. This actually decreases the service life of a blade. Therefore, it is necessary to design and develop
a suitable blade so that self-life is enhanced.
The design and optimization of rotary tillage tool on the basis of simulation and finite element method is done by using
ANSYS software. The different rotary tillage tool parts are geometrically constrained with preparation of solid model
of blades and simulation has been done along with boundary conditions. The proposed work results are identifying
sufficient tolerance in changing the design. The dimensions of rotavator blade sections and to rise the life cycle of the
blades for a reliable strength. The present geometry working model with tillage blade is analyzed to new design change
constraints of its geometry for the maximum weed removal efficiency by presenting its analysis results from the field
performance.
Keywords: Rotary tillage, Structural Analysis, Deformation Analysis and stress Analysis.
I. INTRODUCTION
The design optimization of tillage tool has obtained by reducing its weight, cost and improving a field performance to
high weed removal efficiency. The analysis has been prepared a three-dimensional solid modeling and applications of
finite element method are getting so widespread in the industry.
The undesired stress distribution components, it cannot compensate to the operating forces in the field of environment
and results in breakdown and failure due to higher stresses and deformation. The proposed work has developed a
computer aided experimental system for design testing and valuation of agricultural tools and equipment’s. The
selected physical model of rotavator has been measured with accurate dimensions and 3D solid model is prepared in
CAD-software such as ANSYS, CATIA.
The continuous fluctuating impact of soil develops high stress on blade tip or blade critical edges. Due to these stresses
blade wear takes place after certain period of usage which depends on soil type or variety. This time period ranges from
20-200 hours for local blades and 300-350 hours for imported blades in normal soil conditions (Saxena and Singh,
2010). Considering this, some work on material characterization has been done to improve the service life of a
Rotavator blade but these works did not address to reduce the overall costs of blade. Another way to improve the
service life of blade is the improvement in blade geometry. The geometry of tiller blades is considered to be the most
important factor in their design since both the shape of the blade tip and the length of the tiller blade facilitate cutting
(Jain-Song, 2007). Hence there is a need to improve the design through geometrical modifications so that will reduce
the blade cost as well as land preparation cost.
Its components works under miscellaneous forces due to power, vibration, pointless, impact effect of soil parts as after
reaching to higher side. The manufacturing and design optimization errors can be minimized by its components design
analysis and optimization.
After reviewing research literature of past studies the following general conclusions are drawn·
 The tiller has a huge cutting capacity, mixing to top soil preparing the seedbed directly. And also, it has seven
times more mixing capacity than plough.

 L-shaped blades are better when compared with C or J type blades in trashy conditions as they are more effective
in killing and they do not pulverize the soil as much.
 Normally the average service life time of a Rotavator blade is fifty hours. Hence it is important to improve the
durability of blade by modifying geometry of existing Rotavator blade.

for the structural analysis. The different tillage tool parts of rotary tillage tools are geometrically constrained by the

three tillage systems viz. zero (ZT), reduced (RT), and conventional tillage (CT) and five N rates (0, 80, 120, 160,
and 200 kg·N·ha−1) on yield and yield components, soil organic matter (SOM), total soil N (TSN), and income of

finite Element method (FEM) – a past Review” 2011. Failures were observed even after designing the components
with maximum stress value well below yield / ultimate stress. Tests were then carried out for time varying loads.
Results proved that the component fails at values below yield stress when subjected to time varying load. It was
also observed that below a specific stress value component were not failing at all. This stress value was termed as
endurance limit. For example yield stress for general steel is around 250 N/mm2 and endurance limit 160
N/mm2.In general while using FEM technique for failure analysis, a finite element routine would be first used to
calculate the static and dynamic displacement and stresses under the maximum compression and tension loading,
which were then used for critical points evaluation [4].
 Rahul Davis “Optimization of surface roughness in wet turning operation of EN24 steel” 2012. The present
experimental study is concerned with the optimization of cutting parameters (depth of cut, feed rate, spindle speed)
in wet turning EN24 steel (0.4% C) with hardness 40+2 HRC. In the present work, turning operations were carried
out on EN24 steel by carbide P-30 cutting tool in wet condition and the combination of the optimal levels of the
parameters was obtained. The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Signal-to-Noise ratio were used to study the
performance characteristics in turning operation. The results of the analysis show that none of the factors was
found to be significant. Taguchi method showed that spindle speed followed by feed and depth of cut was the
combination of the optimal levels of factors while turning EN24 steel by carbide cutting tool in dry cutting
condition [5].
III.METHODOLOGY
The values of the soil force acting one each blade (Ke), bending stress, shear stress and equivalent stress
were obtained by using input parameters as per the selected tractor and rotary tiller. We calculated these
values for Red soil with clay.

IV. MODELING AND ANALYSIS

Modeling of rotavator blade is carried out in CAD software CATIAV5 Rl8. We drafted the design
in sketcher module with the available dimensions of blade. Modeling was finalized in part design
workbench. For analysis we used analysis software ANSYS14.0. After preparing a solid geometry
--
model the important steps are meshing and applying loading and boundary conditions in the
preprocessor so that simulation can be run to get a solution and generate results in the post-
processor.
