Application of Finite Element Analysis in Modeling of Bionic Harrowing Discs

Ansys software was used to carry out three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) for biomimetic design of harrowing discs based on the body surface morphology of soil burrowing animals like dung beetle (<i>Dicranocara deschodt</i>) which have non-smooth units such as convex domes and...
