Mechanical peeling of fruits and vegetables is carried out mostly using either abrasive tools or
knife and blades. Combining the basic functions of these two types of peeler tools led to the
development of a new innovative tool named...

of rocks and soil grains as well as tool wear. Wear is defined as the loss of tool material as a result of the interaction between rocks (or soil) and the drilling tools. The LCPC abrasivity test is a quick and easy procedure used widely to assess...

One of the tests that is used for the characterization of soil abrasivity, is LCPC test. LCPC test device is designed for measuring the wear particles as small as pebbles (4-6.3 mm). In this study, some of the most important abrasive minerals were...

in detail, including the site investigation program, project-specific soil grouping system, distribution of soil types, geological–geotechnical risks (oversize grains, clogging, soil abrasiveness, fine grain content, permeability and groundwater fluctuation...
