Investigation of the damping properties of the process module for a tractor of traction class 1.4

Abstract To analyze the positive influence of the technological module on the fluctuations of the external load of the tractor, the methods of statistical dynamics are used. A dynamic model of a process module with two rotating masses is considered: the rim and tire of the drive wheel and the translational mass of the process module. Using the transfer function, the spectral functions of the output process (the horizontal component of the force on the MTZ-82 tractor) were determined when performing a machine-tractor unit (MTA) technological operation with heavy disks (BDT-7) intended for a class 3 tractor. The developed mathematical model of the technological module allowed us to construct theoretical spectral densities of the horizontal component of the force on the tractor hitch when completing it with the technological module. The use of the process module allows the frequency range of forces on the tractor hitch to be shifted to a lower zone from 0 to 2.5 Hz, excluding high-frequency components compared to the standard configuration of the tractor.
