Simulation for Fitting the Bending Shape of Fruit Branches of Lycium barbarum Based on the Finite Element Method

The accurate modeling of wolfberry plant morphology is the basis for theoretical and simulation analyses of the wolfberry picking process. The curved shape of the fruit branches makes it challenging to model Lyciumbarbarum (wolfberry) plants. This paper establis...

The curved shape of the fruit branches makes it challenging to model <i>Lycium</i><i>barbarum</i> (wolfberry) plants. This paper establishes a three-dimensional model of the branches under no gravity through field measurements, and then assesses the morphology of the branches under gravity load, fruit load, and branch load using finite element simulation. An orthogonal rotation combination experiment determined the relationship between branch morphology, length, growth angle, and growth mode parameters.
