Any mechanical force exerted on a potato tuber during the harvesting may result in mechanical damage. A few weeks prior to harvesting, haulm destruction could improve the rheological properties of the tuber and reduce its susceptibility to mechanical damage. The effects of elevator and oscillatory sieve diggers and haulm destruction on potato loss and mechanical damage were studied on a farmer ...

In this research, progressive damage of woven composite materials due to high velocity impact is investigated via finite elements method. Necessity of impact analysis of composite materials using progressive damage method is detailed and available material models for this type of analysis is discussed. Governing equations at onset of failure and failure modes as well as damage growth is express...
