Laminated bamboo and bamboo scrimber are value-added engineered forms of bamboo
produced in standard shape and size, with better physical and mechanical characteristics …

Several natural fibres such as hemp, flax, sisal, kenaf and jute have been used in different
industrial applications. Recently, natural fibres have drawn the interest of researchers …

Previous studies have shown that the multi-cell bi-tubular tubes exhibit superior energy
absorption compared to the multi-cell tubes. To further improve the energy absorption of the …

Bio-inspired engineering design has drawn considerable attention in the recent years for its
great structural and mechanical features. This study aimed to explore the energy absorption …

Although short bamboo nodes function in mechanical support and fluid exchange for
bamboo survival, their structures are not fully understood compared to unidirectional fibrous …

In natural environment, many biological structures are tubular and exhibit excellent
mechanical properties that can reduce self-weight effectively and transport more water and …

Bamboo has become a promising construction material for replacing nonrenewable and
polluting materials due to its ecological characteristics, low carbon content, high axial …

We report an experimental study on three new types of tubes inspired by the cross-section
and nodes of bamboo with the aim of improving the crashworthiness of three types of …

Creatures in nature adapt to the environment by a long-term evolution, they often obtain the
optimization structures for hunting and self-defence. One such example is a marine …

Pursuing ecological construction methods, such as green building materials and
environmentally construction techniques, is an essential way of sustainable development …
