Red Currant

The physical and mechanical parameters of berries and the morphometric features of the structure of the bush growth habit are important criteria in predicting the use of berry harvesting equipment. In this research, six red currant cultivars have been studied. The berry separation force, the crushing force, and the strength of attachment of the berries to the stalk were assigned to the physical and mechanical parameters and were determined using the "PLODTEST-1" and "Dina-2" devices (Russia). For the optimal operation of the berry harvester, the crushing force of the berries must be more than 2 N, the berry separation force must be in the range of 0.5–1.5 N. A high correlation between the separation and crushing forces was determined (R = 0.71). During the period of technical maturity, the strength of the attachment of the berries in the raceme was more than 0.5 N and, by the end of maturation, this indicator decreased. Most of the studied cultivars have a compact, optimal bush volume. The red currant cultivars Niva, Asya and Vika are promising for mechanised harvesting.

The effects of cement content and curing period on a new synthetic model ice, DUT-1, are reported. The cement (450#) contents were 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15% and 16% by dry weight of mixture material. Eight different curing periods were used: 66 h, 92 h, 115 h, 139 h, 163 h, 186 h, 211 h and 235 h. Physical and mechanical properties, such as density, compressive strength, flexural strength, and elastic modulus, were determined. The density and mechanical parameters were found to increase with increasing cement content, whereas the durations of curing period under normal air temperature resulted in increasing these properties to a maximum value, then decreasing values.

In order to analyze the influence of different nanoadditives on the physical and mechanical properties of similar silty mudstone materials, nano-TiO2 (NTi), nano Al2O3 (NAl), and nanobentonite (NBe) were added to improve the physical and mechanical properties of silty mudstone similar materials. The physical and mechanical parameters are more in line with silty rock. Finally, nanometer additives suitable for silty mudstone similar materials are determined by conducting density test, natural water absorption test, uniaxial compression test, splitting test, softening coefficient test, expansibility test, and microscopic test. The effects of adding NTi, NAl, and NBe on improving the physical and mechanical properties of silty mudstone similar materials were studied to analyze the influence law of different NTi, NAl, and NBe contents on similar material density, natural water absorption, uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength, softening coefficient, expansion rate, and other physical and mechanical parameters. The microscopic morphology of similar materials was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and the mechanism of influence of nanoadditives on the microscopic structure of samples was revealed. The results are as follows. (1) The density of similar materials of silty mudstone increases with the increase of the content of nanoadditive. The natural water absorption rate decreased first and then increased with the increase of the content of nanometer additives, while the softening coefficient decreased with the increase of the content of nanometer additives. The uniaxial compressive strength and tensile strength increased first and then decreased with the increase of the content of nanometer additives. This is due to the incorporation of the nanoadditive amount effective to promote the hydration reaction of gypsum and accelerate the production of cement, while a similar material may be filled in the pores, reducing the internal defects, a similar material to make denser; when excessive dosage, nanoadditives agglomeration occurs, resulting in deterioration of the effect, but will reduce the mechanical properties of similar materials. (2) When the content of NBe is 6%, the physical and mechanical parameters of similar materials can reach or be closer to the silty raw rock except uniaxial compressive strength. The failure mode of the uniaxial compression specimen is also the same as that of the original rock, which can be used as the best choice. The research results laid the foundation for further analysis of NBe application in similar materials.

Masonry walls with distinct layers, known as multi-leaf masonry walls, are prevalent in many regions of the world including ancient architecture in Europe and new construction in the Himalayan region of South Asia. This paper presents a model for determining the capacity of multi-leaf stone masonry wall from its physical and mechanical parameters. For the study, a “Standard Wall” with typical properties of a multi-leaf stone masonry wall is defined and the capacity of the stone masonry wall is studied varying different physical and mechanical parameters of the wall to explore an analytical model that can represent the capacity of multi-leaf stone masonry. 300 models of multi-leaf stone masonry panels are analysed in ANSYS, and the capacity and displacement parameters are extracted by bilinearization of the pushover curve. As a result, a mathematical model between the capacity of a multi-leaf stone masonry wall and physical and mechanical properties is established.

Selected physical and mechanical properties of high-density wet formed fibreboards produced with different cement content. The aim of this work was to produce, in laboratory conditions, high-density wet formed fibreboards with a different cement binder content: 0%; 0.5%; 1%; 2%; 5%; 10%. The panels were tested for their physical and mechanical properties in order to determine the effect of added cement on the properties of the boards. The results show that the mechanical parameters of the tested panels grow compare to the reference panel when the mass share of cement is 0.5%, and decreases with the cement share increase to 10%. The remaining physical parameters of the tested panels get worse with the cement content increase.

Preliminary studies are presented showing to what extent nutrients available in the growth environment of Kombucha microorganisms affect the physical and mechanical properties of synthesized cellulose. With an increase in the amount of sucrose in the growth medium and with the presence of additional nutrients, peptone and tea extract, the thickness and strength of the biopolymer increased, while elongation was reduced. The best physical and mechanical parameters were obtained for bacterial cellulose from cultures with the addition of 10% sucrose and 0.25% peptone content. The increase in elongation correlated with the decrease in the degree of polymerization, which means that in media rich in nutrients, the number of molecules building the polymer decreases. The presented data is important in order to select ingredients that will help synthesize bacterial cellulose with the desired physio-mechanical properties.
