Free fall analysis of orange fruit using numerical and experimental methods

In this research, the behavior of orange fruit under impact cases was investigated by finite-element modeling in SolidWorks simulation and experimental dropping tests. The values of 0.584 MPa and 0.24 were experimentally determined for modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio as a pre-requirement f...
