Estimating the Mechanical Properties of Travertine Building Stones Due to Salt Crystallization Using Multivariate Regression Analysis
Salt crystallization is one of the most powerful weathering agents that may cause a rapid change in the mechanical properties of stones, and thus limit their durability. Consequently, determining the mechanical properties of stones due to salt crystallization is important for natural building stones used in marine environmental and mild climatic conditions, which expose excessive salt crys...
متن کاملEffects of PLA Film Incorporated with ZnO Nanoparticle on the Quality Attributes of Fresh-Cut Apple
A novel nanopackaging film was synthesized by incorporating ZnO nanoparticles into a poly-lactic acid (PLA) matrix, and its effect on the quality of fresh-cut apple during the period of preservation was investigated at 4 ± 1 °C for 14 days. Six wt % cinnamaldehyde was added into the nano-blend film. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis showed a rougher cross-section of the nano-blend fil...
متن کاملRELATIONSHIP OF TENSILE STRENGTH OF STEEL FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE BASED ON GENETIC PROGRAMMING
Estimating mechanical properties of concrete before designing reinforced concrete structures is among the design requirements. Steel fibers have a considerable effect on the mechanical properties of reinforced concrete, particularly its tensile strength. So far, numerous studies have been done to estimate the relationship between tensile strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) and ot...
متن کاملCultivar and fruit size influence bruise susceptibility and some physical properties of apple fruit
ABSTRACT- For most fruit types, including apples, bruising is the most common type of postharvest mechanical injury. Bruise susceptibility was investigated in 3 commercial cultivars (‘JazzTM’, ‘Granny Smith’ and ‘Fuji’) and among a range of 4 different fruit sizes (commercial counts of 135, 120, 100, and 88) in each cultivar. Bruising was carried out by dropping a uniform round steel ball (110g...
متن کاملHyperspectral Imaging for Assessing the Quality and Condition of Apples
Objectives: The overall objective of the project was to develop a novel light-based sensing technique to assess internal quality (firmness and sugar content or soluble solids content) of apples. Specific objectives were to: 1. Investigate a new sensing method, using hyperspectral and multispectral imaging, for quantifying the absorption and scattering properties of apple fruit; 2. Develop mathe...
