Description
9.5 KB of experimental data from tensile, compressive, and shear tests on intact garlic plants and their components (scapes and pseudo-stems). The dataset, authored by Jing Yang and last updated in April 2026, provides key mechanical parameters to elucidate the separation mechanism for mechanized harvesting.
Use Cases
Modeling plant material behavior based on elastic modulus, tensile strength, and shear strength parameters.
Designing selective separation mechanisms for garlic scapes based on identified mechanical property differences.
Validating finite element simulations of plant compression using the provided experimental test data.
Analyzing composite material mechanics in plants using data from tests on intact structures and individual components.
Strengths
Data is validated through finite element simulation, with results indicating a high degree of agreement.
Key mechanical parameters were obtained systematically from tests on multiple plant components.
Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for open reuse.
Limitations
Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
Theoretical values for plant elastic modulus were higher than measured values, indicating a discrepancy noted in the study.
