Modelling fruit bruise damage from the macro- to the microscale using the Discrete Element Method KU Leuven
Mechanical bruise damage in fruit is the consequence of the progression of cell ruptures and inter-cellular separation. It leads to significant economic losses and food waste. The objective of this PhD project was the development of generic methods and models that can help predict fruit bruise damage and advance insights in mechanical bruise damage.
In order to develop bruise prediction models, it is valuable to have a non-destructive ...
