RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Simeonovová, Jana A1 Buchar, Jaroslav T1 On the identification of the eggshell elastic properties under quasistatic compression JF Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis YR 2015 VO 52 IS 5 SP 73 OP 82 DO 10.11118/actaun200452050073 UL https://acta.mendelu.cz/artkey/acu-200405-0007.php AB The problem of the identification of the elastic properties of eggshell, i.e. the evaluation of the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio is solved. The eggshell is considered as a rotational shell. The experiments on the egg compression under quasistatic loading have been conducted. During these experiments a strain on the eggshell surface has been recorded. By the mutual comparison between experimental and theoretical values of strains the influence of the elastic constants has been demonstrated.
