Abstract

In order to investigate the soil reactions influenced by the single plate with the inclination angles from 0° to 75°, an in-house code of 2D DEM has been developed in this study. An iron flat plate penetrated soil by a constant velocity of 1 mm/s in the study. In the penetration test, the maximum vertical force was 753.8 N which was generated by the 0° plate. In addition, it was found that the less the inclination angle, the greater the vertical force. Furthermore, a greater force in the horizontal direction has been generated at 45° of the inclination angle. This research can provide a theoretical reference for optimizing tools that contact soil, for example, patterns/lugs on wheels, earthmoving blades (such as rotary cultivators, bulldozers, weeding machines etc.) and grouser of tracks.
