Popis: Experiments were conducted to study the soil failure and soil disturbance of sandy loam soil under vibratory tillage tools in a soil bin. The experimental results showed a brittle failure characteristic with a crescent shaped soil failure area. There were cracks in radial and transverse directions in the crescent shaped failure area. Two main zones (deep layer and near surface) of soil disturbance were observed due to the action of the vibratory tool. It was observed that the size of soil fragment decreased with increase in velocity ratio.
