ABSTRACT
The influence of the variation in water content, sampling location and loading speed on the shearing and across-compression mechanical characteristics of dwarf-dense-early major cotton variety stalks was analysed. The second-order response models of the factors vs. the maximum shear force and critical across-compression failure force were built using the response surface methodology. Besides, the sampling location and water content have a significant influence over the maximum shear force and critical across-compression failure force, especially the sampling location. Both the maximum shear force and critical across-compression failure force reach a theoretical maximum when the water content is 10%, the sampling location is the lower part and the loading speed is 40 mm min-1. When the sampling location is the lower part, optimization is carried out assuming the theoretical minimum of the maximum shear force and critical across-compression failure force as the optimization target. In this case, the loading speed is 20 mm min-1, while the water content is between 30 and 50%. This indicates that the parameter range requires a low power consumption during the crushing of film residue mixtures. The test data can provide some theoretical references for the technical research and equipment development for the crushing of film
