| An experiment
on force deformation was conducted on mature fruits of mango cv.
Dashehari (collected from India). The first yield point in a sample was
observed at 0.30 kN with a rupture point at 0.48 kN. Results indicated
elastic behaviour up to 0.30 kN force, plastic beyond 0.48 kN and
elastoplastic in between 0.30 and 0.48 kN. Strain energy required for
first yield point was calculated using E = F*D/2, where E = strain
energy, F = force applied and D = deformation. The energy required for
the first yield point was calculated as 0.084 Nm and second rupture
point was at 0.25 Nm strain energy. |
