Abstract
In order to obtain the soil parameters of Poyang Lake Region before direct seeding, the soil properties of Duchang County, Poyang County and Xinjian District recollected and the discrete element method model is established. The angle of repose of paddy soil is 53.00° tested by the lateral wall collapse method. Eleven parameters are used to establish EDEM simulation model with the Hertz-Mindlin and the Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) contact model. Based on the Plackett-Burman experiment, the Steepest ascent experiment and Box-Behnken experiment are carried out to study the factors affecting the angle of repose and the regression equation is established. Thus The optimal parameters are obtained with the deviation of 2.23%. Then the furrow width and depth are introduced to verify the soil model and the comprehensive error is 11.60%. Therefore, the soil model before direct seeding can be used to optimize the structure of mechanical direct seeding in Poyang lake region, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing resistance and increasing efficiency.
