Predicting cashew nut cracking using hertz theory of contact stress
The cracking force is an important parameter in the design of cracking machines. A mathematical model for predicting the exact cracking force of cashew nut was presented based on the existing hertz’s theory of contact stress of two bodies under uniaxial compressive load. Hertz equation was adapted t...
