Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Manual Sheller Force Distribution

This Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering final year project investigates reducing concentrated hand effort in a fictional manual sheller, linking a defined agricultural engineering need to a bounded model or supervised teaching experiment.

Why choose this project topic?

The project concentrates on reducing concentrated hand effort in a fictional manual sheller, giving the study a practical farm or processing context without requiring a full commercial installation. Comparing peak hand force, cycle work and mechanical advantage supports useful diagrams, calculations and a critical discussion of the evidence and its limits.

How do the selected agricultural system design choices affect peak hand force, cycle work and mechanical advantage when reducing concentrated hand effort in a fictional manual sheller?

Choose an accessible approved teaching setup or explicitly fictional farm case, then agree the parameter range and evaluation plan for reducing concentrated hand effort in a fictional manual sheller.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the system, operating assumptions and evidence required for reducing concentrated hand effort in a fictional manual sheller.
  2. 02Compare lever and crank concepts using bounded material resistance assumptions and inspect force variation over a cycle.
  3. 03Evaluate peak hand force, cycle work and mechanical advantage and report uncertainty and practical constraints.

A suggested research approach

Compare lever and crank concepts using bounded material resistance assumptions and inspect force variation over a cycle. Agree the protocol and any equipment use with a qualified supervisor before work begins. Check units, calibration and model assumptions, compare peak hand force, cycle work and mechanical advantage with a stated reference, and distinguish laboratory or simulated outcomes from field performance.

What you will need

  • Fictional mechanism drawings
  • Published teaching force data
  • Statics and dynamics tools

Keep your project scope clear

No food-processing or load-bearing device is certified by the conceptual calculations.
