Modeling Shearing and Bending Behavior of Kiwifruit Branches Using the Discrete Element Method

Hongbo Zhao,
Zhiqi Zheng,
Ruihong Tan
et al.

Abstract: Returning pruned branches into the field is a key procedure in kiwifruit cultivation. It utilizes discarded branches and aids in orchard management. Shearing and bending behaviors dominate the mechanized process of branch return; however, current research lacks appropriate modeling methods for these processes. In this study, we developed a discrete element method (DEM) model to simulate the shearing and bending behaviors of kiwifruit branches. Initially, laboratory experiments determined the shear strength and… Show more
