摘要
The variation of the vibration characteristics of a Huanghua pear was investigated using finite element simulations. A new image processing technique was used to obtain the unsymmetrical and un-spherical geometrical model of a pear. The vibra-tion characteristics of this type of pear with the correlation of its behavior with geometrical configurations and material charac-teristics were investigated using numerical modal analysis. The results showed that the eigenfrequency increased with the in-creasing pear Young’s modulus, while decreased with increasing pear density, and decreased with increasing pear volume. The results of this study provided foundation for further investigations of the physical characteristics of fruits and vegetables by using finite element simulations.
