| Summary: | This study focus on the mechanical properties of the bamboo species
Bambusa blumeana and its utilization potential to manufacture limb archery
or laminated bamboo strip composite. The mechanical properties such as
shear and static bending were corelated to the portion of the bamboo and the
culm thickness. The mechanical properties are increased with age, height,
density and fibre wall thickness. Dry bamboo culm of B. blumeana from three
portion namely bottom, middle and top were processed into thin laminae and
cold press using epoxy resin to produce laminated bamboo composite. The
sample testing are varied by it portion and sample thickness. Result testing
for bending and tensile test is then compared to achieve suitable stiffness for
an archery's limb production. Futhermore, test results and comparison to
wood base composite from previous researcher's result clearly show that
laminated bamboo composite are suitable for archery's limb production
material. |
