Measurement of Walnut Properties and Analysis on the Compressive Stiffness of the Critical Value of Shell-cracking

摘要

Based on the measurement of walnut properties,a computational analysis was conducted on the compressive stiffness of the critical value of shell-cracking.As indicated by the results,to crack the walnuts shell from its longitudinal or edge directions could save lots of efforts.The study provided theoretical basis for the design and improvement of walnut shell-cracking machine as well as theoretical references for the design,making and use of some special cracking-aiding tools such as nutcracker.
