development of a soil bin compaction profile sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
development of sensors to detect the location and depth of hard pans in real time is a major restriction on the application of site specific crop management (sscm). in this study, a soil compaction profile sensor equipped with four horizontal operating penetro-meters for on-the-go sensing and mapping of the location and intensity of hard pans arti-ficially formed in a soil bin was developed and tested. the leading edge of a 600 mm long vertical soil cutting blade held four 8 mm diameter, 80 mm long, and 30 degree conic tip stainless steel soil penetrating rods equally spaced at 100 mm vertical intervals. with this arrangement, when the cutting blade was driven into the soil up to a 500 mm depth, the conic tips sensed soil penetration resistances at 100, 200, 300 and 400 mm depths. the penetration resistance force was transmitted by the rod end to the elastic diaphragm of a hydrostatic oil chamber beneath each rod. each oil chamber was connected to a force magnifying piston and cylinder located off the soil engaging tools. the penetration force was magnified five times before being sensed by a strain gage load cell. software pro-grams with the capability of discriminating 16 levels of soil compaction intensity were de-veloped for monitoring soil impedances sensed by the soil probes and for converting them to soil compaction maps. for conducting the tests in the soil bin, the sensor mounted on the tool carrier frame was moved along the bin, where artificially formed compacted soil blocks with various densities (1.45, 1.65 and 1.85 mg/m³) were placed at different loca-tions and depths (up to 500 mm deep at 100 mm increments). while the probe was cutting and advancing through the soil, the corresponding compaction map was simultaneously displayed on a pc monitor, and the soil penetration resistance data of all four sensing tips was displayed and stored in program files.

متن کاملNumerical simulation of dynamic soil compaction with vibratory compaction equipment
Roller drums make use of various shapes and their dynamic compaction effect is achieved by different kinds of dynamic excitation systems. The bearing capacity of layered soil constructions can be measured during the soil compaction process. The finite element method has been applied for dynamic analyses using elastic models. For the realistic simulation of the dynamic compaction process it is n...

Soil compaction was identified as the cause of ‘growth stunting disease’ in sultana grapes and ‘red death’ in cotton at the Lower Orange River and Vaalharts irrigation schemes. In an experiment growth stunting disease was eradicated completely and yields of sultanas increased substantially by deep cultivation, which eliminated compacted soil layers. Ripping increased the quality of tobacco, and...
