Description
This research project is a step forward in predicting the bulk-scale deformations in food-plant materials during drying in a computationally efficient and accurate manner. In the proposed numerical modelling method, a novel force interaction field was introduced to represent the mechanics of a whole plant cell during drying through its centroid. By utilising this novel modelling approach, the distinct deformation profiles of several food-plant materials were revealed along with the impact of drying situations and features in the microstructure. The developed modelling framework has potential applications in the field of food engineering in controlling quality attributes of dried food-plant products.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
