SUMMARY
The yield stress of sugarcane is influenced by its moisture content, similar to the crushing force of pine wood, which is approximately 40 MPa. To accurately determine the yield stress for crushing sugarcane, it is essential to conduct tests at various moisture levels. This approach allows for adjustments in yield stress calculations based on the water content present in the sugarcane, as both sugarcane and wood exhibit changes in ultimate strength due to moisture variations.
