The discrete element model of Mactra veneriformis currently employs an oversimplified multi-sphere approach using EDEM’s Hertz–Mindlin model, assuming uniform shell–flesh mechanical properties. This study developed an advanced dual-layer flexible bonding model through comprehensive biomechanical testing. Mechanical properties and shell morphology were experimentally characterized to inform model development. Parameter optimiza...

Purpose Precise segmentation of blueberry maturity is critical for optimizing harvestschedules and maintaining product quality. Traditional methods, which rely on manualinspection, are not only labor-intensive but also cost-inefficient. This study presents a novelframework that integrates deep learning-based super-resolution reconstruction (SRR) withsemantic segmentation to provide a fast and accurate solution for maturity ass...

Introduction To enhance the application of mechanized harvesting and supplement research on harvesting theory in mudflat-buried shellfish harvesting in China, a brush-screen cooperative mudflat-buried shellfish vibration harvester was designed. Methods The harvester is primarily composed of a crank rocker double-layer vibrating screen, two stage rolling brush, and a conveyor chain. White clams ( Mactra veneriformis ) cultured...
