Dynamic analysis of material motion using MATLAB/Simulation environment and test verification

Throwing device is an important factor that directly affects the performance of chaff cutter. In this work, the dynamic analysis linked with the problem of low efficiency and residue blockage of disc knife chaff cutter is executed. Based on this perspective, the mathematical model, simulation, and testing of the material movement have been carried out. Simulations are performed in MATLAB/Simulink environment. An anemometer records the airflow velocity, which provides data for simulation analysis. The simulation results showed that during the movement along the blade, the material first performs deceleration and then accelerates; in other stages, only deceleration. And finally calculated the throwing distance. To support the presented simulations, an experimental study is conducted. The experimental results are compared with simulation results, the maximum relative error between the simulated value and the experimental value is 9.42%, which verified the correctness of the model. This research provides a theoretical basis for the structural design, parameter optimization, and matching of the chaff cutter.
