Popis: Abstract The optimal discrete element model and bonding parameters that match the structural features of cornstalks during harvest were obtained. Based on the differences in mechanical properties of the stem bark and stem pith in the inter-nodal cornstalk, the biomechanical-specific parameters were measured using the compression, shear, and bending tests. The bonded particle models of stem bark and stem pith were constructed using fraction particles with radii of 1 mm and 1.47 mm, which were further bound to form a bilayer-bonded particle model of the cornstalk. The Plackett–Burman, steepest ascent, and response surface tests were conducted to identify the factors and their optimal values that significantly impacted the stem bark-stem bark, stem pith-stem pith, and stem bark-stem pith bonding parameters. The cornstalk’s shear and bending mechanical properties were assessed to verify the overall characteristic parameters. The findings revealed that the cornstalk model created, and the calibrated bonding parameters, were highly accurate and capable of simulating the shearing and bending behaviors of the real cornstalk. The inter-nodal cornstalk’s bonded particle model created and the identified bonding parameters for the cornstalk could contribute to a theoretical and research basis for the next stage in cornstalk modeling with nodes and other applications.
