An agriculture machines are subjected to different loads conditions. Due to this loads variations there will be certain deformations and stress which affect the performance of the electric vehicle in adverse manner. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the total deformation and stress of the electric farm vehicle middle frame based on the finite element method. The proposed electric farm vehicle has lifting and dumping capability. Therefore, in this research four operational condition such as normal condition, dumping condition, lifting condition, and lifting-dumping condition was analyzed. In this research, the design for whole frame structure is elaborated. According to the mechanical characteristics of the frame, materials are selected and manufacturability requirements are limited. Based on ANSYS 15 software, the finite element model of electric farm vehicle is established to carry out static analysis on full-loaded conditions. The simulation results shows that the proposed design meet the strength requirements and displacement requirements. The maximum deformation 0.53611 mm and maximum stress 30.163 MPa occurred at lifting-dumping condition.

Multi-copter of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was initially developed as strategic technology in the only military field, but it is developing into an industrial field with a wide range of applications in the civil sector based on the development and convergence of aviation technology and information and communication technology. Currently, the degree of utilization of multi-copter is increasing in various industries for the purpose of performing classic tactical missions, logistics transportation, farm management, internet supply, video filming, weather management, life-saving, etc, and active technology development responding to market demand. Existing commercial multi-copter mainly use an electric energy propulsion system consisting of an electric battery and a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor. It is the limitations for usage in the flying time (up to 20 minutes) and payload (less than 20 kg). this study aims to overcome these limitations and expand the commercialization of engine-powered multi-copter of UAV in various industries in the futures.

The percentage of those aged 60 and over is 43.5% among our country's 3,186 thousands farming population, so farm village is getting aging society rapidly. Moreover agricultural competitiveness has being weakened due to labor shortage by degradation in quality of labor configuration from elderly porson. For realisms easy workability, we developed a motor vehicle for agricultural activity. The vehicle has an automatic guidance system which could follows a track of magnetic tape on the floor for easy moving to given working position. We collected data from two guidance sensors, located on front and rear end of the vehicle and calculated displacement and angle deviation from the track. This traveling system was stably controlled with processing information deflection S, angle of deviation, D and angle velocity, Vt = $k_1D$ - $k_2S$ from two guidance sensors attached on front and rear of th motor vehicle. Also this system have been tested under various condition of $k_1$, $k_2$ for comparison on both stepped and turning routes. The results show that traveling performance is best at $k_1$=0.7, $k_2$=3.

농업의 탄소 중립 및 기후변화 대응을 위해 그동안 내연기관 중심으로 발전해 왔던 농업기계도 온실가스의 배출이 없는 전동 기반의 기술로 전환이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 농업용 전동 UTV의 진동과 충격을 저감시키고, 차량의 주행안정성과 조종성능을 향상하기 위하여 전동 UTV 서스펜션 설계를 위한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션은 차체의 공차 하중과 화물을 적재한 하중 상태로 나누어 수행되었다. UTV의 서스펜션 스프링의 가동 범위는 조건 B가 공차상태에서 가동범위 30% 이내의 수준을 나타내고, 적재 중량을 만재한 상태의 UTV 서스펜션 변위는 264mm→121mm로 작아지고, 댐핑속도는 260mm/s→300mm/s로 가동범위 60% 이내의 수준에 있음을 알 수 있었다. 다목적 농작업용을 위한 전동 UTV의 서스펜션은 주행과 지형 적응뿐 아니라 경운과 같은 견인작업에서 농작업 능력을 유지하기 위해 매우 중요한 요인이다. 이 연구의 결과는 전동 UTV를 다양한 농작업에 이용할 수 있도록 적절한 댐핑 범위를 갖는 스프링 파라메터를 결정하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Facing the current hikes of labor wage and high oil price, it is needed to have energy-saving machinery which also enables us precise farm operations. Thus, it was necessary to develop a safe machine which allows secure and pleasant works along orchard slopes. In this study, a lifting utility with balance-controlled platform was developed. The platform utility could maintain to level the workbench while driving along slopes. Even the machine body was driven at the tilt angle ranges of ${\pm}20^{\circ}$, the platform bench could be maintained within ${\pm}0.5^{\circ}$ of a gimbal angle. In addition, the machine lifted up to 2.0 m using an electric-hybrid driving mechanism with a low noise. A tandem hybrid power source was developed with a DC 72 V, 100 AH for the Deep-Cycle batteries, charged with 3.5 kW gasoline generator as an auxiliary power source. HST, which is one of the CVT's, was adopted as a transmission device, and a crawer track was used for the safety of the vehicle against tip-over. The maximum lifting height of platform was is 2,500 mm, and the maximum extendable width was 2,900 mm.
