Effect of Plant Interaction on Wind-Induced Crop Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Plant motion due to wind affects plant growth, a phenomenon called thigmomorphogenesis. Despite intensive studies of the turbulence over plant canopies, the study of plant motion induced by wind ...
The Multimodal Dynamics of a Walnut Tree: Experiments and Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The dynamics of a walnut tree is investigated in order to better understand the mechanical interaction of trees with wind. Experimental data on the vibrational modes of the tree are obtained, ...
