Measuring internal stresses that cause bruise inside of fruit is extremely difficult. An alternative approach is to estimate the stresses using finite element analysis (FEA). In this research, tow finite element models of ...

In this study, the mechanical properties of the skin and flesh of cantaloupe were determined by individual experiments and then finite element simulation was developed for cantaloupe fruit under compression loading. The ...

Thermography is a useful technology for non-contact two-dimensional temperature measurement of the material’s surface that requires nondestructive evaluation. It is also considered as a non-destructive method to determine ...

A large percentage of fruits and vegetables are wasted each year due to mechanical damage during journey from field to consumption. Therefore, It is requires to protect fruits from the loads that cause bruise or failure. This research performed...
