Paper on Strawberry Bruise Simulation Accepted by Postharvest Biology and Technology

A paper led by Zhicheng Hu, titled “Strawberry bruise susceptibility analysis based on discrete element method coupled with finite element simulation,” has been accepted for publication in Postharvest Biology and Technology.

This research combines Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Finite Element (FE) simulation to create a detailed model predicting bruise damage during robotic handling. The work provides crucial data for designing gentler robotic grippers to minimize fruit loss.

Congratulations to the authors!
