AREN 614: Soil-Machine Relations in Tillage and Traction
Credits:
3
This course deals with the reactions that exist between the soil and the tillage tools that are used on the farm. The students will be taught how to determine the relevant physical properties of soil and the stress and strain analysis of soils due to machine applied loads. The course will conclude by introducing students to experimental and analytical methods for synthesizing characteristics of overall soil-tillage tool systems.
