Optimization of the Fluted Force-Feed Seeder Meter with the Helical Roller Using the Discrete Element Method and Response Surface Analysis

The seed metering process of a fluted force-feed seeder was simulated using the Discrete Element Method and its parameters optimized using the Box–Behnken Design of Experiments and the Response Surface Method. The rotational speed of the feed roller, the lead (helix) angle of the flutes, and the num...
