Methodology of scanning and measuring the prong test samples

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2004
The proposal of scanning and digitizing of prong test samples used for casehardening of wood is provided. The measurement of magnitude and stress state of residual stresses is usually done by prong test samples.

Performance evaluation of a flatbed maize dryer with a biomass heat source

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation and Technology, 2021
The technical performance of a 3-tonne capacity flatbed grain dryer was assessed based on its drying rate and drying efficiency. In addition, the quality of maize grains dried in the drying system was investigated through stress-crack analysis and ...

Likelihood of survival of coronavirus in a respiratory droplet deposited on a solid surface

open access: yes, 2020
We predict and analyze the drying time of respiratory droplets from a COVID-19 infected subject, which is a crucial time to infect another subject. The drying of the droplet is predicted by diffusion-limited evaporation model for a sessile droplet placed

Measuring desiccation-induced tensile stress during cracking process

open access: yesSoils and Foundations, 2021
The desiccation cracking of soil occurs when shrinkage is restricted during the drying process and the induced tensile stress equals the tensile strength.

Effects of Rate of Drying, Life History Phase, and Ecotype on the Ability of the Moss Bryum Argenteum to Survive Desiccation Events and the Influence on Conservation and Selection of Material for Restoration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Desiccation stress is frequently experienced by the moss Bryum argenteum and can influence survival, propagation and niche selection. We attempted to disentangle the interacting factors of life history phase (five categories) and rate of desiccation ...

Plasticity and fracture in drying colloidal films [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Cracks in drying colloidal dispersions are typically modeled by elastic fracture mechanics, which assumes that all strains are linear, elastic, and reversible.

High-temperature stress during drying improves subsequent rice (Oryza sativa L.) seed longevity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Post-harvest drying prolongs seed survival in air-dry storage; previous research showed benefit from drying moist rice seeds at temperatures greater than recommended for genebanks (5-20°C).
