Safety Evaluation on a Fastening Device of an Agricultural By-Product Collector for Hard Flat Ground Driving

In this study, the static safety factor and fatigue life of fastening devices an agricultural by-product collector were evaluated under hard flat ground driving conditions. The strain gage-based measurement system was constructed, gage attached on highest stress spot derived from structural analysis. calculated using measured values by converting it into data. two operating conditions are considered to be loading part collector, lifted non-lifted. results for all showed that larger than 1.0 much greater expected lifetime both Therefore, can concluded operated reliably future work, we plan evaluate in various actual orchard farm environments.
