“Optimus” – the Student Scientific Society
(the Society started operating in 2011)
Achievements of the society:
Development and manufacture of a soil channel for the purpose of carrying out laboratory works on modeling of determination of traction characteristics of a self-propelled model of a tractor with an agricultural machine by graduates of the Institute of MMS Vasiuk S., Tikhonenko V., Kovalchuk V.
The soil channel contains a flat base 1 (Fig. 1), which rests on the Central frame 2 and vertical racks 3, located at the ends of the channel. The base 1 of the channel in order to ensure sufficient rigidity in the longitudinal plane is made in the form of covered with a flat sheet material 4 (Fig. 2) corrugated sheet 5.
Figure 1 – Ground channel
НаOn the upper surface of the base 1 of the channel by fixing the three longitudinal vertical walls 6 formed two parallel to each other gutters 7 and 8.
Figure 2 – Gutters of the channel
The open surfaces of the sheet material 4 and the walls 6, which form the gutters 7 and 8. The gutters 7 and 8 are partially filled with a material that mimics the required agricultural background or pavement 9. To level the surface of the material that fills the gutters, installed roller 16 (Fig. 3) moves along the edges 6 of the table, by means of the guide wheels 17 by means of screws 18, which are fixed to the frame 19 which allows possible adjustment of the height of the roller 20 which provides a uniform leveling surface.

According to the results of work in the student scientific society “Optimus” student of the Institute of MSM Kupin OO under the guidance of associate professor Anikeeva OI performed the scientific topic “Substantiation of crop mechanization in the virtual economy on the basis of domestic tractors” was published 3 articles in the journal “Environmental Engineering”.
