The estimated fourteen parameters were used in the constitutive equation to calculate stress-strain relationships for wheat en masse in axial compression and isotropic compression loading conditions.
The three wheat varieties showed similar mechanical behaviors in the uniaxial compression test, but the breaking force value and average breaking energy were different.
The uniaxial compression test under small-strain conditions can be used to evaluate the viscoelastic properties of wheat grains of different grades and varieties.
The force-deformation curve has at least two inflection points, the first inflection point is the mechanical properties of the bran layer, and the second inflection point is related to the endosperm boundary near the aleurone layer.
