Abstract:The different cutting methods can directly affect the quality of fruits and vegetables in cutting fruit and vegetable. The Elastic Modulus of the Fuji apples were measured by the compression experiment, and the physical model of the pulp was established. In this study, the finite element model of simulated cutting apple was established by Ansys-Workbench, and the maximum elastic strain and the maximum shear stress were also analyzed under different tool shape, wedge angle, and material, and the cutting speed. It was determined that the shape of the tool suitable for apple cutting was rectangular, the wedge angle is 11°~15°and the material was 45 steel. The faster the cutting speed could get the greater distortion strain and shearing stress. The study identified the way to cut apples and provided some reference for industrial cutting of fruits and vegetables.
