• Computational Model for the Dynamic Characterisation of a Trunk Shaker 

      Sánchez Cachinero, Pedro; Luque-Mohedano, Rafael; Sola Guirado, Rafael Rubén (MDPI, 2022)
      The development of trunk shaker machines over the years has been based on test-error methods in field. Mathematical or computational models have been studied with great simplifications. This paper presents a method for ...
    • Effect of leaves in the dynamic response of olive tree branches and their computational model 

      Sola Guirado, Rafael Rubén; Luque-Mohedano, Rafael; Tombesi, Sergio; Blanco Roldán, Gregorio L. (Elsevier, 2022)
      The application of vibration in the mechanical harvesting of fruit trees is a determining factor to achieve fruit detachment. The acceleration required to do so is experimentally determined in expensive tests using ...
