Finite element analysis of cotton ginning state based on ANSYS

To analyze the stress state of seed cotton in the process of cotton ginning and to improve the quality of lint, a new model for cotton, the laminated cotton model, is presented based on the idea of a composite laminate. The model assumes the cotton mass is made up of a certain number of cotton fibers, each of which has a different arrangement angle. Based on this model, the ginning process is simulated using finite element analysis. The...
