Agricultural Engineering Department, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA; Biological and Agricultural Engineering Department, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA
Uniaxial tensile techniques to determine mechanical properties of flue-cured tobacco were defined, and the application of these techniques to determining tobacco quality was discussed. Leaf lamina samples were obtained from tobacco that represented...
