REVIEW ON PLANT CELL MECHANICS

The mechanical behaviors of the wall and inner material ofplant cell are very different. Many studies have been carried out onmodeling the structure of plant cell. The mechanical modelof plant cell plays a very important role in the plant tissue mechanics. Itbridges the micro and macro biomechanics studies, and has many applicationsin agricultural and food processing engineering.In this paper, different mechanical models used in the study of the plantcell were introduced; the analyzing methods and numerical simulatingtechniques were reviewed. Moreover, some important areas were discussed.
