Effect of cell size on the compressive properties of interlocking flax composite structures

This paper investigates the cell size effect on the compression properties of square interlocking structures made of flax/polylactide (flax/PLA) composite. Three cell sizes have been investigated, these being 10 mm, 20 mm and 40 mm. The core and skins of the structure are made of three layers of fla...
