Objective: This study aims to selected physico-mechanical properties of the Office 2 (white) poppy plant , which is widely produced in Türkiye.
Material and Methods: Dimensional and mass measurements of poppy capsule were made with digital devices and moisture content was determined by oven drying method. Critical velocity was determined by the aspiration method, while shearing forces of the stem and breaking forces of the capsule were measured by the mechanical test device.
Results: The average height of the capsule was 37.58 mm; the width was 37.52 mm; the mass was 6.14 g; the volume was 360.06 mm³; the critical velocity was 9.87 m/s; and the shell ratio was 43.93%. The shear force of the stem was 35 -129 N and the capsule breaking force was 199.32 N vertically and 132.68 N horizontally.
Conclusion: The findings provide a scientific basis for the development of mechanised harvesting processes for poppy crops.
Biological material cutting-compression tests Office 2 (white) poppy physico-mechanical properties
Amaç: Bu çalışmada Türkiye'de yaygın olarak yetiştirilen Ofis 2 (beyaz) haşhaş bitkisinin seçilmiş fiziko-mekanik özellikleri araştırılmıştır.
Materyal ve Yöntem: Haşhaş kapsülünün boyutsal ve kütlesel ölçümleri dijital cihazlarla yapılmış, nem içeriği fırında kurutma yöntemiyle belirlenmiştir. Kritik hız hava kanalı kullanımıyla tespit edilirken, sapın kesme ve kapsülün kırılma kuvvetleri mekanik test cihazı ile ölçülmüştür.
Araştırma Bulguları: Kapsülün ortalama yüksekliği 37.58 mm, çapı 37.52 mm, kütlesi 6.14 g, hacmi 360.06 mm³, kritik hızı 9.87 m/s ve kabuk oranı %43.93 olarak belirlenmiştir. Sapın kesme kuvveti 35 - 129 N, kapsül kırılma kuvveti ise dikeyde 199.32 N, yatayda 132.68 N olarak tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Elde edilen veriler hasat ve hasat sonrası süreçte yararlanılabilecek bazı fiziksel özellikleri ortaya koymaktadır.
