Project name: Advanced Methods for Functional Design of Agricultural Machinery Using State-of-the-Art Numerical Methods
Programme Title: Operational Programme Enterprise and Innovation for Competitiveness
Call title: APPLICATIONS - CALL VIII
Registration number: CZ.01.1.02/0.0/0.0/20_321/0024022
Annotation: The objectives of the project can therefore be summarised in two "themes", the first is an innovative procedure for creating a digital twin in DEM-FEM and the second theme is its use for innovative agricultural machine design. In the first theme, it is essential to fully develop a DEM soil material model that incorporates the ability to change the mechanical properties of particles and their interactions with each other. To develop a DEM soil material model with plant residues (i.e. a combination of more than 2 different particle shapes), the shape and mechanical properties of the plant residues will also be developed using 3D scanning technology and subsequent modification of this digital model for use in a DEM application.
