Minimax principle in theory and practice of modern grain combine actuator optimal design

The problem on the design values optimal choice of the grain combine drive elements, when these elements are implemented through the V-belt and hydraulic transmissions, is set and solved. For this purpose the minimax principle, implemented through the method of the optimal design of the state-space dynamic system parameters under the alternating loads, is used. The author’s previously generated theoretical model of the combine drive dynamic system with the nonlinear nonholonomic first-order constraint is used to form the state space.
