This project investigates the mechanical damage to tomatoes caused by handling and processing. By modeling the multi-scale mechanics of tomatoes, it aims to understand how external forces affect the internal structure of the fruit, ultimately improving handling practices to maintain quality.
The quality of fruit such as tomatoes can be reduced substantially by mechanical damage e.g. by poor handling during and post-harvesting.
Damage manifested at the whole fruit or macro-scale is caused by failure of cells at the micro-scale, although cells in different tissues (meso-scale) react differently to external forces.
Not much is known about how the mechanics of tomatoes across the scales can be correlated and how external forces cause damage to single cells internally.
Therefore, the sci…
