Abstract: According to the arrangement law of corn ear kernels, the solid model and the finite element model of the corn ear were established. ANSYS LS-DYNA software was used to analyze the distribution and transmission of stress on the corn ear shocked by wedge impact head. The simulation shows that on the corn ear the Von Mises of the region which is shocked is bigger than other region. Initial phase of the impact head shocking the corn ear, the Von Mises concentrate on both sides of shocked corn kernels. With the falling of the impact head, the Von Mises transmit to both sides of shocked corn kernels further and the stalk of corn was broken sequentially to the both sides of shocked corn kernel and the Von Mises was not so concentrated as before. It is found that the discrete features and the discrete direction of the shocked kernels are consistent with the simulated results by comparing the model calculation and the test results. The discrete of kernels and the transmission of Von Mises is along with the arrangement law of corn ear.
