Abstract

The paper presents a dynamic model of four-element machine-and-tractor designed on the basis of a combined soil-cultivating-sowing aggregate and a tractor with an articulated frame. The pseudo velocity of the first tractor half-frame was considered a generalised coordinate. The control impact upon the tractor was obtained by means of the bending angle of the tractor half-frames. The trajectories and movement speeds of the aggregate elements were calculated as a function of time for the driving mode along a straight-line path and the tractor movement according to the harmonic control law. By means of the measuring system, trajectories of the aggregate elements were obtained. It was established that the movement trajectories of the aggregate elements represent a complex assessment parameter of the mathematical model adequacy of the aggregate plane-parallel movement. There was found a regularity of the aggregate turning radius and the bending angle of the tractor half-frames.
