Abstract
In this paper, structural analysis of a 21 meters wide field sprayer boom, designed for precision agriculture applications, was conducted with finite element analysis. G-programming language, a data acquisition board and an inductive force transducer were used to measure the forces acting on the boom arms. An experimental setup, developed in a laboratory environment, was able to measure and record various forces in 5 miliseconds intervals. An ANSYS model was developed to analyze the forces recorded during laboratory experiments. Steel SAE/AISI St 42 and aluminum ISO AlMg2.5 materials for the sprayer boom structure were used in the analyses. Based on the analysis results, using aluminum for active boom suspension system for field sprayers produced more favorable structural results than steel

Abstract
Bu çalışmada, hassas tarımda kullanmak amacıyla tasarlanan 21 metre iş genişliğine sahip bir tarla pülverizatör bumunun sonlu elemanlar yöntemiyle yapısal analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bum kollarına gelen farklı kuvvet değerlerinin ölçümü için G-programı, bir adet veri algılama kartı ve indüktif bir kuvvet algılayıcısı kullanılmıştır. Laboratuvar ortamında geliştirilen deney düzeneği farklı kuvvet büyüklüklerini 5 milisaniye aralıklarla ölçerek kaydedebilecek şekilde hazırlanmıştır. Deneysel olarak elde edilen kuvvet verilerinin analizi için ANSYS ortamında bir model geliştirilmiştir. Analizlerde bum malzemesi olarak çelik SAE/AISI St 42 ve alüminyum ISO AlMg2.5 kullanılmıştır. Yapılan denemelerde elde edilen sonuçlara göre, aktif bum dengelemesi için alüminyum malzemenin yapısal olarak çeliğe göre daha iyi olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır
