Physical and mechanical properties of kenaf stems at varying moisture contents

Physical and mechanical properties of kenaf stem Malaysian variety V 36 were studied. The physical properties revealed maximum plant height was 310 cm and the lowest was 150 cm. Maximum stem diameter was 30 mm and the smallest was 14 mm. The mechanical properties revealed the maximum cutting force a...
