Discrete element analysis for the assessment of the accuracy of load cell-based dynamic weighing systems in grape harvesters under different ground conditions

- DEM was used to simulate the displacement of the load inside a grape harvester bin.
- The redistribution of the load in the bin was shown to affect the results.
- The effect of the inertia acquired by the load was not negligible.
- Recommendations to improve the accuracy of load cell measurements were proposed.
