| Summary: | There is a real need to develop a hand tool harvester since harvesting tubers of Dioscorea hispida (ubi
gadong) is time tedious and consuming. The tubers were surrounded by roots, which were well gripped
to the soil which made harvesting process difficult. Therefore, a new tool equipped with cutting device
to cut the roots of D. hispida is required. The information from the experiments is used to model and
simulate the tool in Computer Aided Design (CAD) environment. The solid modeling software
solidworks was used for the design, modeling and simulation of the equipment and the finite element
analysis to determine the stress, force and displacement were also conducted. |
