Opening History. Most agricultural structures perceive a complex load caused by the interaction of working bodies with the material. The nature of the load of structures directly depends on the physical and mechanical properties of agricultural materials and the performance of technological operations on them. Thus, the real load process when working with each specific type of agricultural materials will be significantly different, but the creation of equipment for a specific material is not rational. Therefore, future agricultural engineers should be aware of the general classification of agricultural materials regarding their interaction with the working bodies of machines, methods and methods of determining their physical and mechanical properties and their rational use in technological operations in order to ensure long work of structural elements even under adverse conditions. Therefore, the opening and equipment of the laboratory “Mechanical and Technological Properties of Agricultural Materials” is a necessary component of the educational process.
The main specialization. Provision of knowledge of the mechanical and technological properties of agricultural materials as a basis for the construction of working bodies and the process of technological processes of agricultural machines, their efficient use in agricultural production processes. Acquisition of practical skills in determining the physical and mechanical and technological properties of different groups of agricultural materials of plant origin during their cultivation, harvesting and transportation.The audience conducts classes and seminars on the disciplines “Mechanical and technological properties of agricultural materials”, “Agricultural machines”, “Machine-field system” for applicants in the specialty of 208 agro-engineering.
Logistical support. Weights Laboratory electronic Radwag, a device for determining the static friction coefficient, a device for determining the dynamic friction coefficient, a device for determining the coefficient of inner friction of loose materials, a device for determining the stickiness of the soil by detachment, the grain thundering classifier, the solid) of the remedy. LAN-M soil, lattice classifier, compression springs, tensile springs, stand for determining some parameters and modes of work of a seeding seeder, stand for determining the effect 52920 of Ukraine for a utility model.Additional equipment: to determine the mechanical characteristics of agricultural materials when bending the resolve-fixed stem; to determine the mechanical characteristics of agricultural materials during compression; To determine the mechanical characteristics of agricultural materials during stretching, additional equipment for determining the mechanical characteristics of agricultural materials during cutting.
In addition, the laboratory contains modern equipment for multimedia lectures, performance of coursework and final qualification works. The laboratory created conditions for the functioning of a student scientific circle, whose participants have repeatedly won the student Olympiad.
