Abstract

The trajectories described by the seeds on the planned double inclined surface play an important role in sorting seeds by density on the vibrating tables. The article develops the mathematical models of the particles trajectory supported by friction on double inclined plane surfaces subject to a motion by rectilinear translation harmonic oscillation and it emphasizes the difference between the particles trajectory with various friction coefficients. The values of such friction coefficients are in accordance with the variable density of the seeds which thus entails different places of seeds collection by their density on one of the sides of the surface.
