Effect of loading rate and moisture content on the fracture resistance of beechwood (<i>Gmelina arborea</i>) seed

Effect of loading rate and moisture content on the fracture resistance of beechwood (<i>Gmelina arborea</i>) seed

Mechanical properties of agricultural materials are necessary for the proper design and development of their planting, harvesting, handling and processing machineries. In this research, fracture resistance of whole gmelina seed was evaluated in terms of its rupture force, rupture energy and deforma...
