This decision is made based on the economic life （time） of machineries. In this research, condition monitoring of MF285 and MF399 tractors was performed using engine oil analysis to find the optimum life time of tractor substitution in comparison with the breakdown maintenance method in Iran. All recorded information about fixed and variable costs were selected as data base and analyzed. Data were divided （classified） based on period of annual working time. Using power regression analysis led to find mathematical models for the optimum time life definition. Cumulative working time （X） was selected as independent and cumulative costs based on definite percent of initial price （Y） was considered as dependent variable and a power law equation was found to express the costs of both MF399 and MF285 tractors as a function of working time. Results showed that in CM method, average of economic life was 13 and 11 years for MF399 and MF285, respectively. It was also found that in BM method, economic life wasl0 and 8.5 years for MF399 and MF285, respectively.展开更多

Tillage for experiment field was applied using moldboard plow with 0.22-0.24 m depth, the rate of tractor velocity was 2.45 km hf^-1, as a tillage velocity. Two rates of tractor velocities （first factor） were applied： 3.24 km hr^-1, for the first velocity, and 4.71 km hr^-1 for the second, Three types of tillers （second factor） were used： disk harrow, rotavator tiller, and spring spike tooth harrow. The first velocity rate was： 2.51 km hr-l（with disk harrow as a machinery unit）, 2.92 km hr^-1 （with rotivator）, and 3.06 km hrl（with spring spike tooth harrow）, while the second velocity rate was： 3.19 km hr-1 （with disk harrow as a machinery unit）, 4.05 km hrl（with rotivator）, and 4.26 km hrl（with spring spike tooth harrow）. Split plot design in RCBD with three replicates was used at the constant of soil moisture 11%-13%. Results were analyzed statistically and means were tested with LSD. The results showed the significant differences between both two experiment factors and their interaction for all study parameters which included： slippage percentage, practical productivity, numbers of masses 〉 5 cm m^-2, and the implement width. At the constant of pulverization equipment types, the higher percentage of slippage was 16.45%, the higher rate of practical productivity was 0.677 h hr1, and the higher rate of implement width was 2.05 m, while the rate of masses 〉 5 cm m-2 decreased to 13.8 mass m2. At the constant of velocity, disk harrow achieved higher slippage percentage 17.69%, spring spike tooth harrow tiller achieved higher practical productivity 0.858 h hr^-1 and higher rate of implement width 2.73 m, and the rotivator achieved the lower rate of masses 〉 5 cm m2 and 4.1 mass m2. The comparison among the three pulverization equipment typess was the purpose of this study to give the best studied indexes under two different velocities.展开更多

In this current study, the effect of varying optimized multiple laser shock peening (LSP) is studied on the surface integrity, microhardness, and mechanical properties. The results show that the LSP-treated specimens have visible signs of valleys, wavy and varying height distribution as well as dimples. However, the presence of non-uniformity and sharp protrusions was detected from the superficiality of the as-received specimen and this was so because of the SiC abrasive material used to polish the superficial layer of the specimen before the test experiment. Prior to LSP, the surface roughness was 2 μm, however, after LSP the roughness increased to 4 μm, 6 μm and 17 μm for 1, 2, and 4 impacts, respectively. High-density dislocation can also be observed close to the grain boundary because the grain boundary prevents the migration of dislocation which could lead to dislocation walls and dislocation tangles. The increase in impacts decrease the average grain size, nevertheless, the micro-strain increased after multiple impacts. Furthermore, coarse grains after LSP were transformed into finer grains. The increase in the number of impacts increases the micro-strain likewise the full-width half maximum (FWHM). Finally, the increase in microhardness increases as the LSP impacts increase.展开更多
