Shear test data includes tensile, compressive, and shear test results for intact garlic plants and their components (scapes and pseudo-stems), obtained using a universal testing machine. The dataset, 9.5 KB in size and authored by Jing Yang, was last updated on April 16, 2026. It provides key mechanical parameters like elastic modulus, peak strain, tensile strength, and shear strength.
Use Cases
- Modeling the mechanical behavior of composite plant structures based on tensile, compressive, and shear strength parameters.
- Designing selective separation mechanisms for garlic scapes based on differences in elastic modulus and peak strain.
- Validating finite element simulations of plant material compression using the provided experimental curves.
- Investigating anisotropic characteristics of biological composites through systematic mechanical testing.
Strengths
- Data is validated through finite element simulation, with results indicating a high degree of agreement between experimental and simulated curves.
- Mechanical parameters were obtained systematically for intact plants and individual components (scapes and pseudo-stems).
- Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
