FDEM investigation on the crack propagation characteristics of walnut shell under multi-contact loadings

Walnut shell breaking is an important aspect of post-harvest processing. However, shell-breaking results differ significantly from ideal uniaxial compression results. In this paper, the effect of multipoint loading on the walnut shell-breaking mechanism by combining FDEM with cohesive elements was i...
