A mathematical analysis was conducted to predict the power requirements of the olive trunk
shaker. The predicted required power of the olive trunk shaker is influenced by shaking …

To investigate the variation patterns of spectral characteristics of main branches in fruit trees
due to uneven distribution of growth, pruning, and fruit quality, as well as to determine the …

Introduction The Mediterranean basin is home to centuries-old large olive trees; high-vigor
cultivars are widespread, with training forms poorly adapted to mechanical harvesting by …

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 …

Understanding jujube tree dynamic characteristics is crucial for the design and invention of a
catch-and-shake machine for fruit harvesting. Currently, the study of vibration characteristics …

Production of California table olives has declined significantly in recent years due to hand
harvesting costs, often over 60% of gross return. Mechanical harvesting could sharply …

Fruit tree trunk is the support structure of the whole tree, carrying the task of vibration
transmission to all levels of branches, fruit tree trunk vibration response to the design and …

Trunk shakers perform a forced vibration that should be set according to tree species and
architecture to efficiently detach fruits. However, manufacturing companies produce designs …

Production of California table olives has declined significantly in recent years due to hand
harvesting costs, often over 60% of gross return. Mechanical harvesting could sharply …

Mechanical shaking enables efficient harvesting of olives, especially in hilly regions where
automated farming is not feasible. This study delves into branch and olive detachment …
