りんごの発育シミュレーションによる果実形状の形成メカニズムの理解

抄録

Numerical simulations of fruit growth of fruits such as apples were performed considering stresses. Simple growth model is assumed, and the final shape of the fruit was examined for several conditions. In the growth models, the load such as gravity and the inhomogenious growth rate were taken into account. Stress analysis and expansion analysis using finite element method were conducted to numerically calculate the final shape of the fruit, and the results were compared.
