Numerical model of cracking pattern in laminated bamboo specimens under tensile and shear loads

This work describes a two-dimensional numerical model that allows detecting the appearance of cracks and calculating their propagation in elements made of laminated bamboo, under tension and shear. This composite material has long parallel strong cellulose fibers embedded in a weak lignin matrix. Th...
