Abstract

Abstract Manual harvesting of sugarcane requires skilled labourers, as improper harvesting leads to a significant loss of yield. Therefore, it is necessary to move towards designing a system capable of harvesting sugarcane on smallholdings, with high harvesting efficiency. This study aims to determine some physico-mechanical properties of sugarcane stalks related to harvester by making a comprehensive analysis of the compressing, bending, and shearing properties of sugarcane stalks. These properties were measured at three moisture content levels at three positions (base, middle, and top) of the stalk with three sugarcane varieties (G.T.54-9, IK 76-66, and HAO3-55-24). The different moisture contents were fresh stalk, after 7 days, and after 15 days. The values of different content with different varieties were (70.3, 42.1, and 23.2%), (68.7, 61.3, and 42.7%) and (66.4, 48.6, and 30.5%), respectively. The physico-mechanical properties of stalks were measured in terms of diameter, length, fresh mass, moisture content, sugarcane stalk bulk density, compression stress, shear stress and bending stress at three different positions (top, middle, and base).The most important results showed that the decreasing stalk moisture content of three sugarcane varieties led to an increase in compression, shear, and bending stresses.

甘蔗秸秆的物理力学特性

摘要人工收割甘蔗需要熟练的工人，因为收割不当会导致产量的巨大损失。因此，有必要着手设计一个能够在小农场收割甘蔗、收割效率高的系统。本研究旨在通过对甘蔗秸秆的压缩、弯曲和剪切特性的综合分析，确定与收割机相关的甘蔗秸秆的一些物理力学特性。用三个甘蔗品种（G.T.54-9、IK 76-66和HAO3-55-24）在茎的三个位置（基部、中部和顶部）的三个水分含量水平下测量这些特性。不同水分含量为新鲜茎、7天后和15天后。不同品种的不同含量值分别为（70.3%、42.1%和23.2%）、（68.7%、61.3%和42.7%）和（66.4%、48.6%和30.5%）。从直径、长度、新鲜质量、含水量、甘蔗秸秆容重、压缩应力、剪切应力和弯曲应力三个不同位置（顶部、中部和底部）测定了甘蔗秸秆的物理力学性能，以及弯曲应力。
