Abstract
Plough share performance has been investigated by conducting a series of finite element analyses in which the process was simplified to that of a plane strain problem. Fully drained analyses have confirmed the relationship between tow force and trench depth and weight as observed previously during experiments. Analyses conducted to investigate rate effects confirmed that partially drained conditions were achieved and that the force-velocity relationships are unlikely to be linear over a wide range of velocities.
