Abstract
The elastic modulus E of wheat is not only an important parameter in mechanical property of wheat grain but also is one of the most important parameter for the materials in the analysis threedimensional modeling of wheat In this study the relationship between loaddeformation properties of the three different moisture contents wheat grains determined by TAXT2i texturometer and pressures in simulated analyzed using a threedimensional model of wheat was investigated The elastic modulus was calculated by the results of the load deformation under the pressure and verified and amended using the threedimensional model The results showed that the elastic modulus range for wheat was from 37 to 75 MPa while the moisture content of wheat rose from 10 to 20 The difference in compressive deformation between the reality and the model was 5 This work was supported by the general science and technology research projects of Zhengzhou No 2013G0077 the science and technology research key project in Henan Province Department of Education No 13A550166 the Natural Science Foundation of China No 31371850 and Doctor Fund of Henan University of Technology No 2012BS013
