Various types of vibration are transmitted to operators of agricultural tractors while working in the field. Most harmful vibration to human body is ride vibrations with low frequency ranging from 1 to 10 Hz, caused by rough terrain. These ride vibration has vertical and rotational components. This study was conducted to develop an active seat suspension system with two degrees of freedoms, enabling effectively reduce vibrations in vertical and pitch motions. Therefore, a mechanism for the active seat suspension was developed, and an electro-hydraulic servo system and a controller to drive the active seat suspension system were also developed in this study. A simulation model was developed to evaluate how the active seat suspension system effectively reduce the vibrations transmitted to the base of seat. Active seat suspension was optimized to enhance the performance using the developed simulation model. The performance of the seat suspension system was evaluated according to the test codes described in EEC78/764 in order to investigate the feasibility of application to agricultural tractors. The result showed that the developed active seat suspension system could reduce the magnitude of vertical vibration up to 80% for the input vibrations according to the test codes described in EEC78/764. The system could reduce the rotational displacement of ${\pm}\;2.5$ degrees up to 50% for the pitch vibration on the average in the frequency range of 1 to 2 Hz.

This study was conducted to investigate the load acting on a tractor engine when it delivers the maximum power at drawbar. The results of the drawbar tests on the 5 locally-made and 14 imported tractors conducted at NIAE in 2004, and the 15 tractors tested at OECD test stations in foreign countries were analyzed and presented by the torque load ratio, defined as a ratio of the engine torque load caused by drawbar pull to its full-load capacity, as a function of pull speed. The NIAE test results showed that the torque load ratio increased from 20 to 80% with pull speed less than 5 km/h. At speeds faster than 5 km/h, it was 80${\sim}$110% regardless of the pull speed. However, the OECD test results showed that the torque load ratio was evaluated mostly to be 70${\sim}$90% in the entire pull speed range. The same trend was also shown for the maximum drawbar load. The difference in the torque load ratio may be attributable to bias-ply tires for locally-made and some imported tractors. It is also suggested that the input torque load may be increased safely up to 120% of the full load capacity of the tractor engine for an accelerated life test of tractor transmissions.

농업 분야에서도 내연기관 트랙터에서 벗어나 전기 트랙터 및 수소 트랙터와 같은 대체 에너지원을 사용하는 동력원이 개발되고 있다. 기존의 내연기관 트랙터에서 사용되던 엔진 및 변속기와 같은 부품들이 모터와 배터리 등으로 교체되면서 무게중심이 변화하게 되며, 이에 따라 전도 위험성을 새로이 고려해야 한다. 이 연구의 목적은 동역학 시뮬레이션을 통해 전기 트랙터의 주요 부품 위치별 전도 각도를 분석하여 전도 사고를 최소화하고 안정성을 향상하기 위한 부품 최적의 배치를 도출하는 것이다. PTO 모터, 구동 모터와 배터리 팩의 구성 수준 3가지와 배치 방법 3가지 요인으로 실험 설계하여 총 9가지 동역학 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. 실험 결과, 구동 모터와 PTO 모터를 트랙터 앞쪽과 뒤쪽에 각각 위치하고 두 개의 배터리 팩을 트랙터 중간에 위치시킨 Type 3 Level 3가 전도 각도가 높은 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과 무게중심을 뒤쪽으로 배치할수록, 아래에 위치할수록 안정성이 증가하였다. 향후 연구로는 부품의 성능과 배치 효율성을 고려한 부품의 최적 위치를 찾는 연구가 필요하다.

The purpose of this paper was to design an effective control system of 1-axis exciter for a seat vibration test of agricultural tractors using MATLAB simulation. The developed simulation model was composed with a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic servo valve, a hydraulic cylinder and load system. Also it was verified by comparing the simulation results with experimental results of actual control system in order to optimize the control performance. And in order to improve its control performance, the designed PID controller in this research was tuned using Ziegler-Nichols 2nd law and zero's moving method of PID controller's transfer function. As the result of these research, the developed position control system was able to control the system's position accurately within 5% errors.

A mathematical model was developed to predict the fuel consumption rate consumed by agricultural tractors under arbitrary loaded conditions. The model utilizes the measured data on the fuel consumptions at the full load and at the rated engine speed with partial loads, which can easily be obtained from the official OECD tractor test reports. It was found from the analysis of the measured fuel consumption data that the fuel consumptions at two different speeds does not change with power. The model was developed based on this fact and validated with the measured data of the 159 tractor test reports. The fuel consumptions predicted by the model were compared with those measured under the partially loaded conditions specified in the official OECD tractor test code II. The percent errors of the predicted fuel consumptions were in a range from 0.36 to 2.86% which assured that the developed fuel consumption model can be used practically to predict the fuel consumptions at any speed and power combinations. It was also shown that the developed model predicts the fuel consumption rate better than the Grisso's model.

This study was conducted to investigate the influences of virtual hitch point (VHP) positions of a three-point hitch on the steering stability of agricultural tractors. The VHP locations were determined analytically from the linkage geometry and implement posture during the normal tillage operations. The maximum force applicable to the VHP was also determined under the given soil and power constraints. From these possible ranges of the VHP locations, a safe region for steering control was determined theoretically by using maximum applicable forces for the given tractor and implement combinations. With VHP positions within the safe region, tractor can maintain the minimum soil reaction forces, assumed 20% of the total tractor weight in this study, at the front wheels which is required for the steering control under the maximum traction conditions. This paper mainly concerns with mathematical developments for the determination of VHP locations and maximum forces applicable to the VHP for steering control. Experimental validation of the theory developed here follows as the second part of this study.

Introduction of a direct engine-PTO driveline to agricultural tractors has reduced production cost and increased transmission efficiency of the PTO driveline. However, this type of PTO driveline has caused a severe rattle noise in the PTO gearbox under idle conditions. This study was conducted to investigate the causes of the rattle noise and the effects of driveline parameters on it. A mathematical model was developed for a direct engine-PTO driveline. The model was proved experimentally to be accurate enough to simulate the dynamic characteristics of the PTO driveline motions. The simulation study showed that the rattle noise was caused by collisions between the driving and driven gears in the PTO gearbox due to velocity variation of the gears, which was induced by torque fluctuations from the engine. It was also found that the rattle noise decreased with the drag torque and mass moment of inertia of the engine flywheel. Smaller mass moment of inertia of the driven gears and backlash also reduced the rattle noise. However, increasing the drag torque and mass moment of the engine flywheel or decreasing the backlash and mass moment of inertia of the driven gears were limited practically by their detrimental effects on transmission efficiency, gear strength and smooth meshing of the gears.

컨테이너 터미널의 경쟁력을 높이기 위해서는 터미널 생산성 향상이 중요한 요소라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 생산성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요인은 다양하다. 그 중 야드이송장비의 경우, 특정 선석크레인(QC, Quay Crane)에 야드트랙터(YT, Yard Tractor)가 고정 할당되는 방식에서 타수 QC들의 작업을 처리하는 풀링 방식으로 전환하여 YT의 생산성을 올리고 있다. 현재 국내 터미널에서도 YT 풀링을 도입하고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 아직 적절한 풀링 범위 및 효과적인 YT 할당 계획에 대한 노력은 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 YT 풀링 운영을 더 효율적으로 할 수 있도록 YT 풀링이 담당할 작업범위 결정에 미치는 요인의 도출과 상황에 따른 YT의 작업할당 모형에 대해서 제시하였다.
