Hysteretic models with slip are frequently used to predict the non-linear behaviour of many structural systems, for example wood buildings and reinforced concrete structures. A model, called SL model, which can describe the pinching of most practical hysteresis loops perfectly was proposed by Baber and Noori. This model is characterised by control parameters that have to be identified from obse...

ABSTRACT- Drying has been used for the preservation of fruits since ancient times. Dried apricot reduces the damages, weight and volume losses, packaging space, storage and handling costs. In this paper, the effects of hot air dryer on an Iranian apricot cultivar ”Noori” have been investigated. The experiment was conducted at three temperatures (30, 40 and 50oC), three fruit thicknesses (5, 10 ...
