Popis: Stress measurements play a crucial role in safety analyses of transplanting devices. Strain gauges for stress measurements during field tests can be expensive and time-consuming. The aim of this study was to investigate the stress on the transplanting device of a cam-type semiautomatic vegetable transplanter using a simulation method. A three-dimensional simulation model was established, considering the dimensions and material properties of the transplanting device. The stress distribution and maximum stress values were obtained through simulations. The maximum stress values at 15 points within the transplanting device determined via the simulation were compared with the experimental stress data to verify the stress simulation model. The results show that the maximum stress obtained from the simulation correlated with that of the measured results, although differences were observed at different locations, particularly at strain gauge positions 11 and 13. Based on the simulation results, the maximum stress occurs at the upper link of the cam-type transplanting device, reaching a magnitude of 201.21 MPa, and the static safety factor is 1.04.
