BLADE WEED DESIGN USING ANSYS WORKBENCH AND FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS (FEA)

Manual, semi-conventional, and conventional weed eradication are the three forms of weed eradication utilized. Farmers benefit greatly from the usage of weeding equipment in combating pests in the fields. The blade you use determines how successful you are at weeding. As a result, it is required to examine the weeding weeds blade. With a tetrahedral mesh, simulation utilizing the finite element analysis method is a way for optimizing the design, calculation, and being able to forecast the material's strength. The goal of this research was to figure out how much von Mises stress, deformation, and safety factor were worth. ANSYS Workbench software was used to simulate various loadings of 10N, 25N, and 50N. The highest von Mises stress generated by weeding blade modelling simulations for 10N, 25N, and 50N loads are approximately 2.95x10-2 Mpa, 7.38x10-2 Mpa, and 0.14755 MPa, respectively. Each of the safety factors is 15, and the maximum deformation value is 4.26x10-7mm; 1.06x10-6mm; 2.13x10-6mm. At a specific load, modelling weed weeding blades are safe to us
