On mathematical modeling of an orchard tower sprayer Dynamics excited by rheological magnetic damping

Tower sprayers play a vital role in agriculture, being designed to apply pesticides and fertilizers effectively. The dynamics of this equipment, especially the vibration of the tower, play a crucial role in the success of agricultural operations. Analyzing and understanding this vibration is critical to ensuring application accuracy while minimizing variations in chemical distribution. This understanding directly contributes to uniform plant coverage, improving spraying efficiency and reducing input losses. In addition, practical vibration analysis extends the life of tower components, optimizes operational safety, and promotes energy efficiency by reducing fuel consumption. Tower stability becomes crucial to prevent spills and ensure efficient use of available resources. In short, dynamics and vibration analysis in tower sprayers are critical elements for the precise, efficient, and safe application of agricultural inputs. This approach promotes sustainable practices and contributes significantly to the success of farming operations. As a result of this study, a 23.68% reduction in trailer vibration amplitude was achieved.
