Abstract
This work develops tridimensional simulation models of the soil-tillage tool interaction applying the Finite Element Method (FEM), tilling clay loam soils (ferralitic). The elastoplastic model of constitutive relation (Drucker-Prager) was used for modeling and Solid Works design software, 2021 version and its complement Simulation. To ensure optimal connection between surfaces of the soil blocks and the tillage tools, contact elements and Coulomb theorem were used to achieve adequate movement of soil elements over the working surface of tillage tools. The geometric parameters of tillage tools were defined as well as parameters and dimensions of soil blocks. The results showed that, both models simulate, in appropriate way, the movement of soil blocks in its interaction with tillage tools. The values of cutting forces, obtained for both models, are similar to values obtained in previous researches.
