    • Kinematics of the Tined Combine Harvester Reel 

      Oduori, Moses Frank; Mbuya, Thomas Ochuku; Sakai, Jun; Inoue, Eiji (2012)
      Although derivation of the kinematic equations of the combine harvester reel is readily achieved, certain inferences thereof suggest possible improvements in its kinematical design. A mathematically computed reference ...
    • Modeling of crop stem deflection in the context of combine harvester reel design and operation 

      Oduori, Moses Frank; Mbuya, Thomas Ochuku; Sakai, Jun; Inoue, Eiji (2012)
      A model of crop stem deflection by the combine harvester reel is formulated. The equations derived thereof are evaluated on the basis of empirical data that were acquired through deflection of crop stems in a ready-for-harvest ...
