Consequently, an interest has arisen for studying selective harvesting methods based on mechanical vibrations in seeking for an alternative technology. In this sense, it is mainly essential to understand the dynamic behavior of the coffee fruits at different ripening stages. In this study, an experiment was proposed to observe the vibration shapes of coffee fruits (Coffea arabica var. Castillo) in defined frequency intervals. The ripening stages were categorized by a strategy based on color measurements in the CIELab space. Four ripening stages were determined from color data taken of 84 fruits, which allowed the development of the dynamic experiments over classified fruits. The dynamic excitation was applied to the coffee fruits between 0–1000 Hz in which ripe fruits evidenced higher vibration amplitudes in specific frequency intervals. These motions cannot be visualized from a normal video-camera (60 Fps). Therefore, a high-speed camera (Chronos 1.4) was used to record these during harmonic excitation. Eulerian video magnification technique was applied to the video-based measurements to visualize the amplified vibration shapes. The magnified motions were contrasted with vibrometry measurements and a piezo sensor attached to the fruit pedicel. Results show that the ripe fruit can vibrate with higher amplitudes in comparison with the other ripening stages, this information could be used to harvest selectively only ripe fruits.","PeriodicalId":166043,"journal":{"name":"2020 19th International Conference on Mechatronics - Mechatronika (ME)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114080489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper details the experimental implementation of LPG fuel onto a Peugeot four cylinder common rail diesel engine. This diesel engine was already electronically controlled with an in-house Engine Control Unit (ECU) already reported in earlier IEEE papers. The electronic and software implementation performed to achieve Dual Fuel operation is detailed, i.e. LPG addition in gaseous state in the inlet manifold in conjunction with Diesel Injection directly into the cylinder. The Diesel Injection is used as the ignition source and thus is required throughout the engine operation, i.e. from idle to full load. LPG addition was utilized from 20% load upwards. The experimental setup used the Diesel ECU already reported and made use of additional electronic circuitry and LabVIEW to control the low impedance LPG injectors. The additional electronic circuitry and LabVIEW control are therefore the main contribution presented in this paper.","PeriodicalId":166043,"journal":{"name":"2020 19th International Conference on Mechatronics - Mechatronika (ME)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124202478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
